Observatory getting closer by the day

[Zoran]

Just installed the FT focuser on the OTA waiting on the remote motor to arrive, Camera and OAG seem to be working fine, need a bit more calibrating, word is that Celestron are so close to releasing their Focal Reducer for the 9.25, cant wait for that either...

Now I need to order the Lhires III and get a dome built and Ill be set :-)

Looks like a nice bit of kit Zoran!
You will have lots of fun with that setup.

There's a Spectra-L200 spectrograph in the for sale - much cheaper than the Shelyak LhiresIII

Already have the 100, need more resolution for what I'd like to do, hence the F10 scope and the ZWO183 Camera, larger aperture and smaller pixel camera = more light hitting individual pixels and resolving to a much tighter tolerance. Easier to split binaries, see Be Stars, better res also allows me to measure mass and pressure, and also rotational speed. :-)
