Good luck tomorrow Mike and we look forward to admiring the results of the first light
Yeah, we have a bit of construction going on around us, apartment buildings, light rail etc...so the dust levels in the fringe CBD area are a little greater than usual ...I dusted it last thing before leaving the observatory

I think the last photo of the assembled rig shows the bulk of the mount nicely and when you see it in person it is obvious why, if it had to, it can go up to a 20" RC.

Collimation of the Newt and cable routing tomorrow

Mike
