NO human can do that effectively/repeatably, so I bought the Sharpsky Pro system, with custom collar done by Dave for the Tak size reduction pinion. I now have to complete the mounting arrangement for it - gone a bit different with this

Until I get my AP Mach 1 - whenever they make one - I will use my NEQ6 (damn it!).

Epsilons are incredible instruments. Have fun with it! Such a tiny beast, but so damned impressive!
...a 106 Takky eh? not a bad piece of kit.. but aren't they used mainly for finderscope? Ouch!!!
Anyway, please tell me more about this focusing system you have? Better than this..... http://tinyurl.com/3b56ac

Hey, I've got an EQ6 for my two cameras....works like dream... when I'm awake that is....
