Using a Celestron Neximage borrowed from a good friend.

want a be, go ahead and post it mate its the effort that counts. And I read a very good post on CN about newbies getting frustrated by mistakes and thinking technology will solve it. Tech will not help without skill and skill comes with practice and effort. When I had a dob, it was a back breaking effort to track anything and still it was worth it. But look at Mike he spent the same time I spent searching for tech improving his technique and his images show his effort. My mistake was to get to into the technology and not enough time at the EP. Yesterday I got a peak at the Ghost of Jupiter and thought wow, it was barely visiable to my naked eye just coming in and out of focus. And I thought man I should have had my dob setup. And now look at me in my search for the ultimate imaging setup I have the right scope but my skill level has not caught up to it. Others have produced far better with far less. So take it from me what ever scope you have use it, and post what ever effort you made. The pat on the back you get from you pears goes a long way to make you want to pursue this hobby further. I am still learning.

beren thanks I was looking at The crayford focusers but am concerned about clearance between the OTA and fork arms. Can a crayford be installed after a diagonal to place it at an angle?
