Matt's Skywatcher 127 5" Skymax Maksutov plus Skywatcher 9x50mm Erecting Findersope & Astro Photos.

Various photos of the Skywatcher 127 5" Maksutov Scope, The Black Diamond 127 Mak I just bought and selling the blue tube one but having problems mounting the black one on a Skywatcher AZ GOTO mount and seems that the finder is upside down and also the Skywatcher Logo is no where to be seen, Its actually under the black tube but its down to the dovetail and I am not sure what kind this is so if anyone can help and tell me what they think it is then I can hopefully rectify this and maybe a Vixen but not to sure but the scope fits on the mount but when you do the finder and the various things like focuser are in the wrong place. Have taken 2 photo of the underside of both 127 5" Mak's and the dovetails but not sure if that is a dovetail on the new one which is the Black 127 5" Skywatcher OTA one. Any help as I am a novice would be of help. Many Thanks Matt

Took these photos on the 24/11/11 in my garden in Torquay UK on a very cold night but clear night. Still have not mastered the Nexstar as its new but learning and you could tell how cold it was by looking at the tube of the scope which had frost but my 9x50mm Skywatcher Finderscope had a lot of dew as well as the main tube!
