Saturn TV85 + 4X P/mate

[IanL]

Thought i would give the TV85 some light. Conditions were not good but clear. So i made the best of it. First time with the new DMK camera.

Star test with DMK on TV85 optics. Which i thought was good. TV85 and x4 power mate maybe a bit much for a 85mm scope.

Hey Ian, not bad for 85mm. Now to nail the collimation on the Mewlon

[iceman (Mike)]

Nicely done Ian, collimation looks spot on!

Cheers Guys

The TV85 never fails to impress me. It seems to punch above its weight with things. I had a trip around the sky last night with it and the 35mm panoptic and it was a joy to look at with the wide fields. Eric as you say just to nail the collomation on the mewlon. It been so long since i have had clear sky's and when it is I am either away from home with work or something on that night. I should have taken a picture of the scope with the x4 power mate and panoptic in. Its nearly half the lenth of the scope in height
