lol just reread your post...duh...it was a cloudy night to start with.
I use a FR with my setup, it really helps with the webcam. Straight away there are twice as many stars to choose from. |
Hi JJJ, I'll give it a go first because I can swing the 80mm sideways quite a bit on Skeletopes Accessory bar, there are no side restraints so have to find something in range. Otherwise I'll see if I can find one locally, we ain't got many suppliers over here and they don't carry much. I might build another guide scope from all the bits I've got. And then there's always Bintel across the ditch.
Ahh, more fun things to play with.
>Bo, yeah, steep and expensive although I'm a serious DIY guy so much is built in the workshop.
But I'm still on the steep part !!! LOL
