Hi Jo,
That was me not fixing the guitar machine heads at 90degrees or equidistant along the UTA. Mine is a string spider similar to Rolf's with guitar strings.
I'm rebuilding the UTA so will get it proper this time.

Some nights my backyard almost has enough light to read a book. 
Most of my images only rank a 3/10 but I still get a lot of satisfaction out of it and to me it's all relative.

yep, that's why I try and make use of every clear night I can get and got the NB filters.
My FWHM has been bugging me so will need to see how it'll fair from darker skies under better conditions and what else I can do to improve it.
Cheers
