Just Married

Hi Guys,

Well it's finally happened, yes, Dave47Tuc's EQ5, and Geoff's (Starkler) Orion ED80, have joined in marriage, and a great couple they make too, on their new peir.

Tonight, is clear, so my first attempt at Drift Alinge will commence at the beginning of dark skies, hope it works.
Then the imaging will begin, in earnest.

Have a look at the happy couple.

Leon

Looks terrific Leon.

The mount and Peir look overkill now!

Let us now when the first Monocular is born

Hi Leon,

Hope its a long and prosperous marriage, not like Asimov's and my SCTs they broke up while still on the honeymoon.
