Glad you're still keeping in touch with all things astro. |
I'm reasonably happy, but you know what I'm like, I'm a wee bit of a perfectionist. And I hate learning new things too. Once I know more about maxim dl and image processing, I'll be happier.
yeah, just got my celestron battery back from repairs (they replaced it with a new unit, top notch support and service from Celestron's Australian distributers and I'm very impressed with them), so I hope to get out more with the scope.
I've made the decision to keep the current setup visual only - the focuser is just not up to scratch on the Equinox 100ED - it slips even with the Andrews 80 degree 30mm 2" eyepiece in it. And yes, I've tightened the crayford focuser screws. Andrew's support on the problem hasn't really been great imho and I haven't bothered sending the OTA back to them. I'll just bide my time and save up for a Takahashi :-)
I still need help with drift aligning etc, so we'll need to sort out a night when you can pop over Troy and help me out. Missus and bub are welcome of course.
Thanks for the comments.
