Good luck mate. Remember when things go base over apex, sit back, count to ten, think happy thoughts then go and sort it out.

Have fun

Mark

hey all reporting in... no photo's sadly (took some but not good lol) i had issues with my drift allign. managed to get perfect east west on meridian but either i was to far off the equatior or i can't see low enough to the horizon to do a east horizon for north-south align (dam thing just kept drifting south ie. polar axis is to low? so raise?). any way my prime focus is a no go (need to remove some tube tommorow muhahaha. Although i did get a ok piggy back shot (but as you can see some dew on the camera less ... last time i breath withing a 100 paces of it at night haha). well we all learn something today don't we.
