I shall be doing a widefield composite with the miss`s camera while doing closeups with the newt. Moons a bit small with the newt but with a 2x teleconverter its a real tight fit, so will stick with prime focus and a faster shutter speed.
Shall stay at home and do it on the back lawn where I have a better view of the horizon as from the half finished observatory I can`t see the lower 20 degrees of the sky.
Done some test shots last night to get the widefield shot in the best spot between the trees..should just clear the trees when the preumbral stage starts..
forecasts still looking good!!..
cheers
mmm have to work that one out, scope was f10 - then went to f6.3 with the focal reducer, the FL at f10 2540mm

could be 1600mm but I could be very wrong
