Time for an update.

My recently acquired through trade (I traded my FSQ-106ED) FSQ-106N, fitted in the new K-Astec 114mm rings with K-Astec accessory plate and new style Vixen rail. SBIG ST-8300C. Riding on my venerable Vixen GPD2 mount that I have fitted the Synscan system to.

Only thing soon to change is the guidescope - got a spare Tak 7x50 finder, and will convert it as the converted Celestron shown suffers astigmatism. Fine for a finder I guess, not great for a guidescope.

Also shown is the name plaque I had made for the GPD2 - I call her Eris for 2 reasons - Eris is the one TNO that truly fascinates me, and also, Eris was the Greek goddess of strife and discord - whenever I do imaging, my wife rolls her eyes and get's huffy
