The morning after

Thx for the advice. Saw Jupiter last night. 2 slightly out of focus bands across it. Saw a bright star to the south last night, flaring blue, red and yellow. Very pretty. I'm starting to get a list of tasks for my scope.

1.Modify trolley to move it.
2.Collimation 2ndry and primary mirrors.
3.Focus finder

Must say the most impressive thing so far is the ease of movement of the base. Smooth, steady and no vibration, beautifully balanced. Tracking was only difficult when I switched EP's.

I could get used to this.
Regards Simon
