Gee, thanks Brad. I guess I am a little proud .

Is your 300D modded in anyway? e.g. no IR filter? Have you thought about using a Paracorr correct? I wonder if you would be able to reach focus with the Paracorr and the SN?

My 300D is stock standard. It's still under warranty and so I am not touching it! I generally find that there a very few targets where it is a huge disadvantage.

I think that the paracorr would prevent me reaching focus from what I can tell from my internet research. I have actually just ordered a Baader Multi-Purpose Coma Corrector. It should arrive soon. I've tried one with my set-up (borrowed) and it seems to work really well with the SN10. When I get it I'll take some test shots to make a direct comparison.

Thanks again Brad. I look forward to seeing more of your work and I will be happy to share mine. To me that's where I get the most buzz: being able to share my work with others.

Cheers

Hi Iceman,

I will see what I can do. I will be scopeless as my rig isn't portable anymore.

I would be happy to drop by and meet some of the members. Unless someone wants to lend me a G8? I might be able to invite one of my other astro buddies along who has a more portable setup. I'll see what I can do

The more the merrier, Brad! And you don't need to bring a scope, there'll be plenty there to look through.

I've driving down from north of Sydney, and i'm not taking my scope with me. I know that everyone will be happy to share. And it's going to be a great socialising event, too.

Iceman,
There are a few more of us. You should join the IRC one night and recruit! We'd love to have you onboard. There is also the MelbMeadeScopes yahoo list to recruit from as well

Thanks Brad, i'll pop in and say g'day.
