thank you [1ponders].
The scope should be in on monday.
But if the weather stays like this (rain). it looks like i have to do just some mods to the scope before i am able to see stars, "unless i hit my head while building the mods that is" lol.

While we are on this thread I have used Oatley Electronics for stepper motor controllers. They have a simple kit that can control 6 wire motors that are commonly scrounged from printers without the need for a PC. Very handy for simple tracking with equatorial platforms, etc.

I also have no affilation with this company, I have just used their services.

Hmm looks like someone bought the telescope steppermotor and the controller kit.
Both all gone

I wonder who did this

Hi Mick
btw my name is Martin.
If i would have known that you live in monbulk i would have asked if i could have looked trough your scope

Still trying to convince the wife that the 12" scope would be better because we are in pretty dark sites as you know.
