Mike in all honestly I've been playing the whole project down...but whole thing has taken over 2years to build with thousands of miles driving to Spain and back, going at least 10 visits a year trialling and building kit combinations ....I've been doing this with a friend of mine. The Observatory has 14 scopes in total the smallest is the 105lens and the largest is the 17in Planewave on an L500 mount and the new Kepler KL-4040 (phenomenal bit of kit) ....nearly 3meter FL doing unguided...its ridiculous!

Its been a massive learning curve and a huge amount of stress. There are a few things to fine tune but 90% there now. Finally being able to produce some images from it all.
