Back at it again tonight.
Just the 5" with two dew heaters.
I was slightly disappointed/concerned after l bought thus OTA because of the CA, but looking at anything but planets and our moon, it's working great.
It has a crayford style 2" focuser with custom attachment to OTA (l broke the original) and some GSO EP's, 2" + 1.25".
I think my brother has the bits to make a motor drive for one axis and the electronics to drive it from a laptop, need to revisit that space. ie. Pull my finger out.
The moon is at -11.9 magnitude, not going to help me find faint fuzzies. Probably not going to happen with a bright moon and 5" aperture but 10-14 magnitude is what I'll be chasing in the SE sky.
The new tripod pier is a doG send, makes observing so much easier.
Enough for now, let's get out there and start looking up.
