It's bloody torture, waiting for the tube holder from AEC in Sydney, unable to use it!!!!!!!

Talk about a solid little creature, I call it my wombat.

So I guess a micro focuser is pretty much compulsory? I've got a Bahtinov mask to try. Arrrggghhh the wait is killing me.
Simon,

Here are some links re the Sharpsky Pro...http://www.sharpsky.net/SharpSky_Pro_manual.pdf and....http://www.dt-space.co.uk/SharpSky_Kit/

I've emailed this guy Dave... dtrewren@ipwireless.com so let's see what he has to say re his kits. The link to the Robo Focuser and bits comes to $400 USD + so the former may be the answer. Yes, you will need critical focusing even at F3.6. Collimation is PITA if you have to do it. I use BYEOS and Nebulosity 3 to get focus but this kit may save the day. What camera will you be using?
