What camera are you intending to use on it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GazAstro Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Nice ! Quick tip, when you run the cable from camera it will cause a diffraction spike ... Try to run two cables at 90° then it will give a more pleasing spike ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought an Esprit 120 in November, it's seen action once, and that was only for 4 hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MartinS Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Seen the line of green indicators all to often, then 1 day before it all goes to ruin. I truly hope you are right and we all get a chance to do some imaging or observing my toes are crossed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
