Thanks everyone for the kind comments , the reopening seems to have created quite a bit of interest , I will be adding some imaging gear for use in the near future heres the pics of the 12" F5 8" F4 and a Stella Vue 80mm CF Apo triplet all with the Ultra Super Premium Feather Touch Focusers
as well as a simple EQ mount for wide field work .
The views through the 24" scope ( Dobzilla ) still blows me away lots of galaxies show detail that was invisible in the old 18" and showpiece nebulae like Eta Carina , M17 etc look like long exposure photos .
Thanks again
Zane
