Hi to you all.
While waiting for some clear( ie no clouds) sky, I began to wonder about what people thought was their best purchase, this year, for this most expensive hobby. I know it's not the end of the year but I am going away on hols for 8 weeks
We all buy new stuff, generally after much research and advice. What was it that improved your observing/imaging, or made it easier? It's good to lean on other peoples experience.
I have a new PC, Skylake I7, SSD hard drives etc. A new 27" Eizo monitor.
A new guide camera, Lodstar X2.
A new mount, Losmandy G11. And last, but the best, a Polemaster.
The Polemaster has made my set up/take down task so much easier. Ten minutes to polar align, then check with the Guide Assistant in PHD2 to ensure <5 arcminute polar error and I'm away. The G11 has helped in this, much less fuss to adjust than my old EQ6.
I'll give the gold star to my Polemaster.
Cheers
Greg
