Glen there is room for one more in the big observatory and I found myself flip flopping between putting one more in or not...the thing was really the 8 inch needed the tube being fixed cause the seam was just terrible, also a better focuser in my view and I would have had to buy it it's own camera and filter wheel, guide scope or OAG but I did have a zwo mini toward its build ...unfortunately my health issues really make more projects more difficult than in the past and so I felt it prudent to give the eight inch and mount away so I was not tempted .... anyways I would not mind another zwo harmonic mount with a 9.25 inch
... AND really just keeping what I have running, adjusted, cleaned etc is certainly for me a lot of work...plus looking after the van, the block etc..its a lot for anyone...
It will be interesting to see if my Son in Law can manage to get the gear up and running and gets into the hobby..the mount needs a pull down and of course the scope needs collmination...normal stuff we take for granted but coming in to the hobby it could be just too much for him. If he can manage he could see a lot of gear in the future.
Anyways I have so much to still do..Ethernet cable from the van to the observatory and I am going over to Pixinsite as I am convinced it will solve my colour issues.
4 degrees C in the van earlier and the car outside in covered in ice...happily I feel warm.
