It's an eq3 top mount on a lead shot filled post with adjustable flats on it and it's got to be concreted in as it weighs 100kg so a purminent fixture

Using an eq 3 mount on a solid pole lead filled for stability also going to be retro fitting a goto unit to it as well

2mins just going on pc il solve this little issue

I know my smart phones not letting me add photos not a happy bunny

This is my homebuilt 8" govier mirror telescope so far hopefully be finished for new year

Thanks for the info people I think I might borrow mi mates usb microscope first then to see what images I can reveal from deep sky b4 buying one if it works I will post images from it

I will do because I can get one for 30 quid and I think I could get sum good results

Can I use a usb microscope on a newtonian telescope in place of the eyepiece I am interested to see weather this will work

i hope ive not upset anyone with this post if so my apologies

too true rowan46 fully agree with that 1

yes i think that would be a good choice and i hope it does continue because it inspired me a lot over the years

i think brian cox could carry this on quite well just wondering if anyone knows whos going to take it over or who you think should take it over . All in memory of sir patrick moore
