Thank you all who looked. THIS IS NOW SOLD.

Sorry for the late reply Ed. Thank you for replying to me. :)

Oh dear. <sighs> I want my £5.20 back!

I think this is an important point and very interesting to me. I have recently "moved" to Astronomy Now from Sky At Night as whoever should read and re-read the content before being published is clearly asleep. Every issue for (say) the last 6 months has had quite noticeable spelling mistakes and factual errors - some of which they do comment on in the next issue - but that is shutting the gate when the horse has bolted surely?! I do not want to pay for this to happen. I know we are only human (so goes the song) but surely the Editor is responsible? Clear skies.

This is now SOLD.

Yeh thnaks, I get that ..... I also said ....... " (with a good polar align of course)."

A few years back we used to farm by moonlight .... so how about just using ..... you know ....... The Moon ........???!!

Ohhh and I also forgot to mention the dreaded cone error, which I believe 3 star align eliminates (?)

Hmmmm, I have some lithium grease too from doing focuser re-greasing ....... might do that ......

hahahahaaa

Thanks for the replies AKB and RichLD - much appreciated. Glad it's normal <wipes brow>. Rowan belt mod is deffo something I will consider.

Hello all ... I have just acquired the HEQ5 PRO Synscan (new one with green bits!). All seems OK on a test run the other night and seems to track perfectly. Just one question though - each time I go to a target it makes quite a bit of noise initially and then goes near silent for the rest of the go to movement. Is this normal? Thanks in advance as always and hope the skies clear (for more than a day soon!) :)

Lowered price to £400.00 - come one someone's dying to buy it for Christmas surely .....

The only thing I could add to try and help is to take some data that under exposes the core. Then use layers in photoshop to mask/bring through the other data as required. Easier said than done I know. Andromeda is notoriously hard to get right - do we ever?! All the best

Cracking shots - some "proper" colour getting through too.
