Talking 22" EQ Fork mounted

Hello all,

I know I have the fever pretty bad, but I think this might put a stop to it - for now. I have recently acquired this scope, built in 1990 and equipped with a fork - mounted system driven by AWR go - to technology. The mirror is a Galaxy optics F4.5. I have just spent the last couple of weeks organising wireless network, underground power cabling, roll - off housing etc.

I will use this scope in conjunction with the G - Star ex camera to search for comets, asteroids and super novae. My home is close to a great amount of light pollution from the Newcastle coal loader, but this scope with the G-Star compensates very well indeed for the light issue. I'll post some initial test images from the G-Star soon.
