Thanks John, yes i did consider the fact that the horsey was still a little low in the East, and that surly makes some difference, you could be right, it might be best to wait until a more vertical, or even Westerly position in a month or so.
I just get a bit excited when all these stars are out and cant seem to wait.
Alchemy, although the suggestion you gave about filters is a good one, a selection for the Tak can be quite costly.
The filter size for the Tak is 72mm, and screws into the rear cell of the scope, so to purchase one that size runs into many hundreds of dollars.
The 72mm, and the 77mm I bought for the Tak, and my Canon camera lens some time ago from Hutech in the States set me back nearly $900.00 delivered.
However thanks for your suggestion
Leon
