Hi Mike,

Quite frankly, I didn't think the ED80's drawtube would hold the Ethos and Powermate especially since the moon was so high in the sky this morning. A little turn of the tensioning screw underneath the focuser fixed up the slipping. The set up definitely looks like it means business and does!

I usually go to the SPSP but unfortunately something else has come up. I hope the weather will be agreeable for the event, from what Don Whiteman said, there should be record numbers of star gazers attending this year.

Cheers,

Steve B
