You just need a wedge now and you will be in astro heaven. Good Stuff, great shots, love to see the Lx200 on piers.

Very Nice......looks great..

1 question......is the dew shield enough weight to counter balance the 2" set up?

Your not running any counter weight?

Have to hand it to the man for sales technique :)

Nice also to see you running RTGUI :)
Have you got it talking to your scope ?

Thanks Guy's:D

Tony if you look closely at the poor Ep(Ving:P ) pic. You will see a small weight hanging of the back tube handle.
This is about 300grams. This as well as the 2 inch set, balance the scope with the Astrozap just nicely:D

No plans for a wedge Paul, I'm not into imageing, so Alt/Az is the way to go for me.

Scope is coming off the market Geoff(see my pm:) )
Geoff I could not get the RTGUI talking to the scope!! Not sure why. CDC still worked with it ok:confused: :whistle:

Best.
