Ever since, even with the Edge long gone, I satisfied myself with imaging in the east to the Meridian, then going to bed. There is always another night to catch more subs, and you never need to worry again about balance, cable problems, misalignment on the other side, mirror shift if it is that kind of scope, etc. The KISS principle never frustrates.  |
Thanks very much Glen I have been trying so hard on the Dragons and for what ever reason just was not happy with my result...looking at it I think there are too many stars which probably just means I would like them smaller and less busy...
Once I was of the same attitude as you with the flip and really never bothered with it and had the same approach of firing only to the East but since I have been using the Asiair plus a flip is just taken care of as the Asiar plate solves and repossitions and refocused and recallibrates guiding so it has been a game changer for me....I have spent so much imaging time on the Dragons it has left me time poor ...I tried with the 80 mm and failure, and the 115 mm and failure and there was a whole lot with the Askar that were useless...so Dragons has been where I have had my bitter experiences..due to gear problems to be fair and I can see that now....
Anyways thanks again for your encouragement.
