Yes that's right - it's at prime focus in the ED80, using the T-ring/adapter. But, it also has the WO 0.8x reducer/flattener instead of the standard 2" nosepiece/extension tube.

I needed it last night.. though once it's setup on its imaging run, I can go to bed for a couple of hours. That's what I did last night. Start the run at 12am, go to bed, set the alarm for 2am, get up and point the scope to a new object, spend 30-60 minutes or so getting the new object ready to capture, and set that off. Set the alarm for 5am, get up and pack it away. and then sometimes put the 12" on for Jupiter.

Is this the rig thats showing us some hi res Joop shots? or is that the 12" shown in the Astronomy 2008 mag mug shot?

For planetary imaging, I use the 12". The only common components between the two setups is:
1. Laptop
2. DMK21AU04
3. Battery (to power the fan on the 12")
4. EQ6
I take everything else off, put the rings on the EQ6, and the 12" in the rings.
