needs coat of paint lol. The mount is a Astro Optical Supplies "Sampson" mount with shyncronous motor equipped RA drive, dec adjustment is manually done. The off axis guider is good as it allows exposures as long as I like with no fear of flexure based guide errors.

Did you make that focuser (and off-axis port) yourself ? How does the off-axis eyepiece get line-of-sight to the primary via the secondary mirror, or is there another mirror involved?
