Greg.

Thanks for the constructive comments Greg. I have to admitt the little RC really is a neat little scope. It might require a little work and a few dollars spent on it after purchase but the results are outstnding for the overall cost.

Lovely image, Nice detail and well presented. Now send some of that clear sky this way, will you?

I had to beg to get a couple of good nights myself and then an equipment problem blew the first one. Thanks Mate.

Actually I am having issues with the shutter not working for the first 20 exposures after first start up or the first image in a sequence after that.
Clear skies Ken

Hi Ken, The clamping is a switch in the Ascom driver. To have a shutter problem like that you would have to look at the clearence between the screw in adapter and the shutter. May be worth talking to the dealer who sold you the camera.

This little scope is well worth the money but can be a struggle to setup correctly at first. Collimation is the key and this is not really easy. I have had the scope for about 6 months but haven't used it very much while waiting for adapters, focuser and flattener. Then it depends on the target I wish to image.

I have just installed an OVision worm on my G11 and thought I would try it out with a bit more focal length and it is a big improvement. The stars speak for themselves.
Thanks Mark.
