No I didn't get out last night unfortunately, going to make my own mask first.

Thanks for the suggestions there. The total weight of the ED80, plus camera and attachments is 4.7 Kgs, so well below the stated payload of 13.7 Kgs. Do you have a link to the longer dovetail or the weights on Bintel or the like?

My scope has done a weird thing twice now. I was looking at the Pleiades and thought I would slew to the Andromeda galaxy. Instead of just heading from a NE to North bearing, it basically did a 360 turn to get to Andromeda. From NE to E, to S to W and then to Andromeda. It found it no worries but is it normal for it go the long way around, I had to watch the leads etc. I'm controlling by the handset at the moment.

Thanks.
