Ta muchly for the kind words.
That's the SBIG ST-8XE cam, with the Lodestar through the Tak finder. I could NOT get a decent star image with the SG chip AT ALL - main camera was focused, and I am damned if I could make a star out for the noise. Never mind - Lodestar works first time, every time.
One day I MAY have a better, bigger rig housed in an observatory, but for now I will make do with my ultra-portable rig sitting on the tiled patio in the side yard
Now, if only I can get those stars smaller
