Please dont worry gentlemen I am bullet proof.
It seems ok but seemed like a good opportunity for a pull down and check.
Back together I just wanted it ready for tonight ...you can bet if I am not ready it will be clear...and although the Moon is around I can still have fun.
I wanted to change up to the eight inch f5 tonight but I think I will take it easy and stick with the 80mm.
I think I was doing too much last night as I had the widefield set up running and testing a new 50 mm lens on the chimney as well as going after the cats paw with the 80mm.
But managed to fit the new smart charger and set up the new inverter so it could be checked by someone who knew what they were doing and he actually conected it so it was easier than I expected and saved a lot of time.
The wide field mount had problems as the primary was getting stuck..fortunately I had only used heat glue so a hot knife had it openned in no time which relieved the snag so it works but it needs some more adjustement work.
I will fit the new water tank tomorrow and make sure I have a nap in case it is clear tomorrow night..If clear I may go with the eigth and do some Moon stuff.
