okay. I'll find out about the focuser issue, tonight.
It was luck that I had ended up with a used EQ5 fitted with GotoStar
and 8" Newt f/5 in one go at half the price of a new HEQ5.
Originally, I had only done my research around mounts (and piggyback imaging) and was going to purchase an HEQ5 without tube.
Having the tube already puts me into a vacuum of knowledge, again.
But I am not really using it a.t.m. - just preparing for the day when I will have done enough wide field imaging and want to take the next step.
I promise, before I'll spend money I will also understand what I am spending it on.
as in : will do my homework around eye pieces, focusers, filters etc.
Thank yo for reminding me of my lack of knowledge
