Thank you all for the encouraging comments. It was a great night. I am about to post an image of our set up under equipment discussions. Web can not wait for Jupiter to rise. We collimated just prior to taking the AVI's. Our enthusiasm got the better of us as we tried to see if we could achieve focus with my canon (not happenong) but will use this set up for planetary and moon only. I was relieved at the end of the night after packing up that my weight bar slid back up the tube as I almost expected it not to after having 30Kg on it. Both are keen to get to some dark sites Ron so we hope to see you soon.
Our next challenge is dust on the mirror. If anyone could refer us to info on cleaning the mirror would be great on a 12" DOB.
Thanks
Mark
