Thanks Mark. The OTA is a small Celestron 130mm f5 newtonian, which originally started out life as a 130SLT although it is now long since separated from its original alt-az mount. It has been upgraded with a 2 inch focuser (with Robofocus), a larger secondary to increase the full illumination of the image circle, and tube rings fixed to a losmandy dovetail. I'm using a basic MPCC, and am guiding with a 200mm FL f4 Nikkor camera lens as a guide scope in conjunction with a QHY5LII and a Geoptik Nikon-T2 adapter. All riding on a HEQ5.
