Firstly, thankyou all for setting me straight and getting my head out of the clouds.

Today l very gently cleaned all my lens', both objective and EP's.

I have a very large mango tree in my backyard which l am going to attribute to the state of my optics. When in flower it literally rains pollen. Easily fixed once l repair my chainsaw.

I fixed the fine focuser knob on my hexafoc focusser, still has a damaged rack and pinion which l may attempt to repair the rack with some JB weld and a fine file under a magnifier.

Now to get out and enjoy it and forget about spending too much money, I've already organised a star party in 2 or 3 weeks with some friends with small Newtonians, will be a good comparison.
We're heading to Jarrahdale oval one evening, any Perth IIS folks are welcome to join us.
Thanks again, happy days and clear skies to all.

ps. I did a quick read on EAA, would be good and definately affordable, seeing in colour would be great, but l need to replace my focusser first and get Josh to make an adaptor because mine is a weird size.

Rod.
