Woo Hoo.......... Success at last!!!!

I received the adapter from TS today, so I gave it a quick try this evening.

In summary, it works like an absolute charm. Did a couple of trial runs at seeing if I could pick up guide stars on various objects such as Omega Centauri, Centaurus A, M83 and a couple of others, and in every case there were at least a few guide stars to choose from. So all in all, very happy so far!!

Here is a very quick and dirty example, a single frame with the ED120-Hotech Flattener - OAG - QYH8L setup. It is a single 5 minute sub with no darks, flats or bias.

So all in all, have removed around 4kg of gear plus a 5kg counterweight from the EQ6.

At this early stage, I can thoroughly recommend the TS 9mm OAG.

Cheers,

Daniel
