Just wondering how you got on with the Sabre and that super b looking red frac? Did the long focal length get tiring constantly pushing at high mag?

After a few years absence from Imaging I've returned to the fold with a new observing passion, naturally I wasn't going to keep life so simple and part of the passion is exploring possible alternatives. I've never been excited about learning the sky via a planisphere so decided on making my own mount having seen the fabulous Rowan Az mount and APM binoculars at the IAS earlier this year. It's a poor mans attempt you could say, but it's all mine.
-
Brilliant result and very well done, I piggybacked mine on top of my APM 107 gathering wide fields via a Samyang 135 /Atik 383 I really must process the thousands of hours of data, I guess I found the challenge better than the reward.. I use binoculars exclusively, sold all my kit, but just bought a Nexus II kit with 10k encoders plus video fluid head.. 😁

Agreed, $800 for $200 worth of materials you can gather on Ebay, I think I'll make one and catalogue the cost.

Damn it, between the clouds up norf it looks awesome, milky way from my back garden 1.5 miles from Preston City centre ... yet fluffy lumps keep blowing in from Ireland across the Irish Sea... sucking up all that black moisture no doubt..

For what is worth I had this issue a couple of months ago, it was backlash in DEC, I can see some peeps thinking that a 're grease' cured it, but in fact its probably because the dec lash was fixed on the re assembly. My penny worth...
