That's good news. I sure hope the 127 has seen some action by then. I whacked it up on the EQ6 today and had a play with setting it up on some terrestrial targets and am blown away by the optics.

I've set the QHY8 up with a MPCC and Peter Tan spacer for 55mm separation and put it on a Lumicon Off-Axis Guider with a QHY5 running straight into the ST4 port on the mount. Now the EQ6 is well aligned (thanks to Paul), GoTo's and guiding work well so I'm working on a list of targets for November. Good fun.

Peter.
