Time to get the rotation kit me thinks. Looking forward to seeing more.

Yeh well, with two cameras now I guess I have both capabilities I guess - wide
and narrow

so after 2 years of doing wide stuff successfully with the AG12 and 16803 Proline I guess I was looking for something different for a while
No chance of automation any time soon I am afraid

so I will have to wear space blanket insulation I guess

...actually I haven't noticed a change in temp inside the dome, my thermometer reads the same temp inside and out when I am in it to +/- 0.1 deg

A 12" and HA sensitivity sure helps.

Yes it's a great scope and so far seems a great little camera setup too...so I'm excited about using it actually
