Great info Stu. As you say completing the Lunar 100 is quite a challenge, needing to get the libration right to coincide with a clear might. I've been working on it for a goodly time and seem to be bogged down with a completed count of 85.5, the half is made up from only managing Armstrong from No. 90, haven't managed Aldrin and Collins yet but will keep trying. Good luck to all of you with this interesting challenge.

Don't worry we've all made plenty. Don't look on them as errors but learning opportunities. Good luck and keep asking questions.- 71 replies

Regarding stability of the supplied tripod, I never extended the legs as it seemed pretty obvious doing so would exacerbate the problem.

This is a great thread, next time I'm fortunate enough to have a break in the permacloud I'll give it a go and join the fun. I have to tell the judge I am very competitive and will get very stroppy if I don't win -
And there was me wondering what nebula you had captured lol

That's terrific, it's not about the gear but the observing experience. Good to see another young enthusiast enjoying the night.

Thank you for taking the trouble to detail all your ups and downs in so much detail. Well done on completing a fantastic scope. I've followed this thread together with your mirror grind and am delighted to see the finished product and wish you many well earned clear skies and happy hours observing.

Well done Damian, I have been following your exploits from the start and am in awe of your determination and "stickability", you fully deserve the enjoyment you are sure to have when using the finished scope. I will be following your scope build as avidly as this thread. Again well done and enjoy the fruits of your labour.
