That was the first thing I checked and checked it a few times after..

Anyways I went after M33 which I find manually it took me a while cause I lost my dark adaption..found it focused and the battery went flat so everything shut down and I had to start again after filling the Genny and it took me a while to find it again cause I hit Dec by mistake so it wasn't a case of just catching up on RA .anyways I have started on it now...but I think I forgot to dial focus in perfect....the gear cover is still off and two power packs hanging off, cables everywhere cause it was cobelled together...and after the work today I am stuffed...but I won.

So probably not a good set of captures but this is my first run with the 115 mm and really should have it on the eq6 but it's all over the place so I really couldn't get it together...such fun..you know if it was a paying job I would have quit ages ago.
Thanks again.
In my moment of panic you don't know how good it was to be able to seek help here.
