Hi Ray,
I have an electric focuser which is fitted to the scope right now...
Skywatcher one.

Hmmm, tempting Peter, I am having difficulty picking up guide stars in sparse areas and the toucam is getting tired....LP is going to be an ongoing problem so my best bet for now I think is to stick with the DSLR and grab the DBK and CLS filter.
I was hoping for some QHY Leo triplet time last night but there were freaking clouds for so long I gave up on the idea. Hopefully tonight I can plan to grab some data if it stays clear. Work has been ridiculous so I have had no time to do anything recently.
A week to wait for my cash, so its gunna be hard to wait....must keep busy.
Cheers
Chris
