Interesting thread guy's.

Gotta say, if anyones contemplating photometry, these 'scopes are superb.

A dew shield is essential and care should be taken on the ballance on the mount.

Clear skies.

Very interesting thread guy's and a lot of very fine tips.

I've just installed AT and looking forward to putting it through it's paces.

My FOV is tiny, 19.7' x 13.0', my slews are just 2 or 3 arcmins off, but I need it spot on for the field to contain my comparison stars for photometry. 

I was thinking of buying Maxpoint (~ 150 dollars  )  but it seems that Astrotortilla is the way to go  .

Excellent write up Badgers, thanks for your time in preparing this.
