Kit nearly complete!

So here is the new imaging kit in it's #1 configuration. Consists of:
Orion AZ/EG G Mount
Stellarvue SVR102T refactor
Stellarvue 0.8 Reducer Flattener matched to the scope
Feathertouch 3" rotatable focuser
Atik One 6.0 Mono camera w internal filter wheel and off axis guider and Atik GP guide camera
Stellarvue D Plates
Losmandy DVR105 guidescope rings
Orion ST80 Guide scope with Orion SSAG pro guide camera
A table from Bunnings with a corflute shield
Whole bunch o' cables 'n' crap
One black puss cat for company!!

At this stage I decided not to try the off axis guider, as I had enough to learn with the camera and scope. Hopefully will be able to move entirely to OAG shortly

I have also picked up a second CCD camera with an 8 position filter wheel and a KAF8300 sensor so will have that as an option to do some narrowband in the future.

Also I have found some covers for the whole kaboodle. Bunnings sell covers that are designed for stackable chairs. Although only in brown, they are the perfect size to put over this type of rig and have little tie downs that can be tied to the legs of the tripod. And only cost about $12.
