Omega's Back!

I've been waiting for Omega to come back so I could compare all the little tweaks made to the rig last year. Taken a few days ago on very dewy night, the first time in a long time that my scope actually fogged up. Hopefully it's just a one off otherwise I may have to look into improving dew control. I've posted three pics. The first is the final cropped image. The second and third are enlarged versions showing the before and after results of the rig tweaks. I still need to get a rotator so I can frame things properly.


Details:
