C8 Mounted

[asimov]

Hi.

Theres going to be times when I can't get to Lesters place to do some imaging through my C9.25 that is now mounted on his Goliath mount & 14" Meade SCT...or in the case of the other morning, I woke up early & wanted to image venus, but it was just too inconvenient to drive 18 K's to his place at 5am :doh:

So Lester has kindly loaned me his C8 & I have just finished mounting it on my EQ5 that the C9.25 was on.

I used the bar that came screwed to the C9.25 OTA. It's a bit long for the C8 but it fits. No I won't be cutting the excess off either ;)

My 900nc should be rocking up next week, so I'll probably use the 840K in the C8.

Stay tuned for yet another shootout! C9.25 Versus C8???

YEAHH!! :D

Looking forward to what the C8 can produce in your more than capable mitts John:thumbsup:

Of couse Paul...I'd never do that to my own scope!! (he-heee!!)

Thanks Lester!!

What a nice unit, C8 same colour as the dovetail bar. Thats probabley a better scope for that mount than the 9.25 .:eyepop:

Now what size holes do I need to cut and where? How many for a 9.25? More than a C8 would need.:whistle: :) :D :P :doh:
