...I really must resist, its the new WO Star71 (Knobby, I know I was going to have a look at your Zenithstar, but thought what the hell...why not break the bank again.). Anyway, hopefully the clouds will stay away so I can have a go with it...

From the album: Edge 800 & 1100 HD
Single shot. ISO1600, 120Seconds. 1 ASPA routine. messed with in iPhoto. no darks blah blah...etc. Still messing around but thought it looked kind of nice. No way I was going to frame the whole thing! -
And now I need to put it somewhere...as it won't go in the box with the scope...have to modify the EP case!

Happy Brithday to me (Next Monday), Happy Birthday to me (Next Monday)......repeat.... Sorry all....I could not resist one of these any longer....oh well, at least I can't moan that the stock focuser is poor anymore. This an a focus mask arrived....so now have to start saving all over again for a camera.....guide scope, guide camera, new WO Star 71....the list goes on... Anyway enjoy with me (can't stop fiddling with it!...I know I will go blind)). The only snag is as this weighs in at roughly 3 metric tonnes (8-)) I will now need to weigh down the front of the scope with another counter weight!
