Thanks Martin
Fortunately there is a hole thru to Orion.
I am so excited about getting the widefield mount completed I have taken the 80mm off the heq5 and instaled the Nikon using the 70/200 lens set at a little past 70 to give it a run using the intervalometer..2 second delay, 5 minute exposure and 30 second interval, iso 1600 and the temp is 34 degrees...see how that goes..should be a good test.
I dont know how the fire is going ...there is still plenty of smoke passing a little to the South but I cant see any glow on the hills...I think its staying on the other side of the river...but I have a lady friend who seems to be right in the middle of it so I hope she is ok...anyways have to go and see how the first capture stacks up.
