All very funny.
My doh moment was when I first got my LX200 in az (no wedge). I read somehwere that to get good astro shots you should polar align (just got a dsi camera). I cant see the south polar star from my house so my mate and I packed this 10" scope off to a nearby lookout to "polar align it". So we found the star but then realised you need a wedge AND you need to do it everytime you move the scope! To top off the stupidity of this, by lugging the scope around that night I damaged something and it needed expensive repairs the next week!
