That's a GSO 12" F4 Alistair. I strengthened the tube around the focuser with some Galv sheeting, Tapped a couple more grub screws into the focuser to stop it rocking, Flocked it with protostar flock board, replaced the wobbly spider and holder with one from astrosystems and plugged an ASA 3" corrector and OAG in front of the atik. I cropped 25% off the right side of this image to balance it up. There's no Pec setup and it has 25Kgs in counterweigths on the eq6, I thought it would be on an eq8 by now but no sign of that yet and I haven't tried this outside of the dome. It could do with another focuser, this one is having real trouble lifting the weight.
Didn't notice that bubble till you mentioned it. Might get a better look with some S2/O3?
I did get some S2 Marc but will have to wait for the Moon to go before trying O3 again, it's just being washed out by the moon.
