Hi all

Interesting comments Actually, a rabbit *and* a guinea pig, Liselle's rabbit, Brendan's guinea pig. Now both in their winter quarters.

The ED80 and the Megrez? The Megrez pips it but remember it has the FD lems now so it's a true apo. Also wins on construction, rotatable focuser and just sheer sexiness

No Dob here, that would mean I'd have to get a map to find my way around! Although SC and I did put the Meade Autostar system onto a 20" Dob last year ...

Gary - Ambermile makes the dual mounts - where did you get yours?

The thing that makes it all so nice is the wireless set up. I am now sitting in the (warm) house with lots of Moon and high thin cloud outside and the scope taking care of itself. I get to use Remote Desktop to see what's happening. Currently pointed at M42 taking 10 minute subs with an Ha filter, ART-285 and the Megrez FD, guided through the ED80. This is what I am getting...
