47 Tuc

Hi all, been a while since i've seen action 3 weeks straight of rain and the full moon will do that

any how I've finally managed to collimate my 14" Meade LX200R and do some imaging through it.. I have just bought a Celestron C130 Maksutov which will go on an be used as a guide scope.

Also at long last i have auto focus capability just need to do more v-curve models to fine tune

A 500 point T-Point model is coming too while the full moon is in the way..

So here is the first haf decent image i have taken through the 14" in the 18 months it has been sitting in its box doing nothing..
