Hi Christian

Great to meet you last night and help you with your new kit, very nice. Just thinking about the way you set it up. If I were you I would put your diagonal in place before mounting the tube. You can then leave a gap of 10 or 15mm between the bottom of the diagonal and the top of your mount at zenith (pointing straight up directly overhead) then you will never have a problem of fouling the diagonal to the top of the mount. Hope that makes sense.

Shame the dew cut us short last night but it was still a great night for our little astronomy group in the highlands.

Clear skies.

Wayne
