Hey Swagman,
Have you used your camera yet? I'm looking at getting the same camera as my first dedicated astro setup!
Cheers,
Tim

I do envisage obtaining a longer focal length telescope like a C8 down the track for smaller DSO and planetary imaging, but that will be a way off now with the treasurer well and truly applying the financial brakes.
Gary, I also love my CEM70 although our relationship did get off to a bad start with polar alignment problems with the iPolar. Only got it back from iOptron with a repaired circuit board last month but have lost the best of the imaging conditions. I am not masochist enjoying freezing winter nights at my age, so my imaging learning curve will largely have to wait until warmer conditions.
Thanks again
