Well actually, yes...I did
But look at what I have maticulously assembled and carefully balanced ...to rework this to be balanced and moded for visual is a bit of work actually
...the massive camera and 4" Field flattener that has to be removed and then this requires three of the counter weights to be screwed off plus the guide scope has been positioned to exact balance etc etc I have it puring repeatedly so major dissassembly and reasembly was out of the question

I have been looking for a nice dob for a while to use while I am doing imaging runs though...tonight would have been the perfect oportunity to use it
