O.k.

Here's the upgraded scope then.

The OTA is still the same cheapie, but good enough for the moment. I pulled it to bits & did some work on it over the xmas break. I've just resprayed the inside with a 'wrinkle plus' black paint, which seems to deaden down the light reflections inside the tube quite a bit. I've also given the outside a nice 'venetian red' duco, with a few coats of clear.

But more importantly I now have a much nicer & sturdier mount - thanx to westsky (David) I picked up a nice CG-5 GT at a good price. Works a treat and should be just the ticket for doing some pics down the track.
