Not using the MPCC, it's in the post to me as we speak (been a long wait for it).
Next time I'm visual I'll take a closer look to see if it's there, might try photographing through a barlow as well, see if that makes any difference.
More experimenting needed I think (when I get the replacement Synscan controller back from Andrews, I am having failure problems with this mount).
Interesting you went from Darwin to Perth, I did it the other way around.
Thanks Brendan,
