Hi all long time no post,but i am still alive!
Okay all i had some major drama with my 12.5 inch homebuilt newt,turned out my three point triangle cell made my tube flex ever so slightly but enought to cause major dramas when tilting the scope..ie mirror shift.
Then i worked out my 3 inch focuser needed some serious adjusting ,i am still not sure about the focuser,a bit of a let down.
But anyway here is finally a half decent image after about 3-4 months and so many wonderful nights missed due to teething problems.
Here is the link,please click on original for a decent image this was reduced in size by 30% but is full field no cropping enjoy http://www.pbase.com/skelty/image/98068162

After all the drama you've had over the past couple of months you sure ended up with a fine image there Rob.
