Thanks guys for looking and passing the all important "tips" - that's what I need plenty of at the moment as I am learning my way thru!!
I must learn how to darken the surrounding area outside the main subject area without affecting it and that will be sweet!
Yep, and also did forget the counterweights too!

or the power cord for the battery pack - I'm sure we've all done that at one time or another in our excitement to get to the DSO site!!
It's all part of the fun anyway, just a hobby to indulge in rather than paste one's face in front of the goggle-box!
Cheers!
Bill
