Rich,

Haha, glad you noticed my string of bad runs! It's never going to stop! If it's not one thing, it's something else. I have to admit, when I couldn't come to focus, that evil thought of selling everything came to me again, lol. I was adamant that I was going to get rid of that thought by attaching the Extender-Q and try something else.

I didn't even mention that I got my RoboFocus back from Jeremy a week or so ago. I had sent it off to be repaired (it had a mind of its own and wouldn't stop racking the focuser in/out upon power on. Even a direct serial connection to the unit and observing the output through Hyperterminal, all I could see was a string of 0's being sent and there was nothing I could issue the unit manually). It ended up having a busted DB-9 connection and a blown capacitor. It's all repaired now but I haven't been game to attach it and try using it properly. I did turn it on briefly and it seemed to be working OK.

Thanks.

Amazing that there have been soo many people who have had this drama.. I know a couple as well..... exact same setup.
Go figure
In the real world they should be paying for your down time H then they'd get it right! Cappo swines!

Any ways, the clouds have parted (metaphorically) and your in for smooth sailing now but never say never, just kidding

Looking good and look forward to your oncoming barrage of great images.

All the best
Rich
