Well... a bit of both TBH. I buggered my flats badly. Here's a couple of pics, rig and the cluster NGC6572.

That said I had fun. Big John doesn't get out much unless the seeing is very good and it worked well last night. No drama. Just the usual struggle to hold 26kg at head level long enough to slit it into that Losmandy rail whining like a little girl.

I won't be doing this for much longer. This thing needs an obs and permanent setup on an EQ8. Later in life.

Thanks mate. I'll have to process it later on.
This is a Titan shaft. My G11 is a bit of an hybrid mount. A cross in between a Titan and a G11. It's reinforced internally, got more bushes and bearings, etc...

It was a great night but for the moon. We get a couple of these now and then. Worth looking for them on CFN.
