Hopefully the planets will align next week and all will be good again,anyway this is a bit ot keep up the good work.
Clear skies Ken.

Meah a bit off topic is ok
Hope the 18" mirror comes up trumps, you have a great scope there. I probably already told you but a mate and I got over half way through building a massive Serrurier truss fork mounted (ala The
120" Lick reflector) 18" F5 with 16.8" Thomas Mathis drive with bronze worm etc back in the late 80's...ah sigh, took most of it to the recyclers a year or so ago
...My mate Attila still have the pristine drive and 18" F5 mirror and 5.5" secondary though, which have never seen starlight
