Very nice images there Stuart.
I rather like the Jupiter shot.
I can't wait to finish my observatory so I can get my LX200R 12 out more often.
Back on service in Australia,
My Meade diagonal had a very slight rattle in the mirror in it after it was about 14 months old after I had been lugging it around the SEQ and my back yard many times so it probally just got knocked or something,
I packed it in a box sent it down to Michael and Don in sydney Bintel via post and 2 days later it arrived fixed with new ring around the tube free of charge even though it was out of warranty, they even covered the $20 express post cost. Thumbs up to top notch service.
But they are smart, because I am about to spend another 5K with them now I am about to start my observatory.
Regards Matt.
