Thanks guys
yes Marc, gunna refurb the NJP mount next (re grease etc)..
In the meantime, spent today connecting, adjusting and cleaning everything ready to mount in the observatory in the next couple'a days
After 5 years the primary mirror was definitely due a clean, as was the front lens of the Wynn corrector but the secondary mirror was clean enough, so I left it
I pulled all the imaging rigs, cameras, filter wheels etc. apart and cleaned and dusted and reassembled, reset back focuses... finally found a nice somewhat stubborn dust speck on the SXV CCD chamber window that had been plaguing my images and wreaking havoc with my flats for the last couple'a years
...after some careful rubbing with a cotton bud ..it is now GONE!!!!
...how it got there and stuck so fast, I have no idea..???
Should get it all mounted and polar aligned in the next few days
...that was all pretty hard work actually...time for a
Mike
