I am very fortunate! Paul

Does anyone know where you actually attach a DSLR camera and lens?
You can submit questions via the website.
Looks like in 2 axis mode a ball head can be mounted on the DEC 'circle' with all the holes. This is where the RA arm is attached to the wedge.
Cannot see anyway to do it as a single axis mount though...

P.S. It will take a PoleMaster with an adapter...

Will a PoleMaster fit..?
It does seem to be a stunning piece of kit...
...the price made me gasp though.
Cheers

After a brief foray into imaging with a scope about 10 years ago, I've not learned the lesson and am back for more pain!
First light through new Astrotrac, William Optics Star 71 and Canon 7D MkII setup last night.
10 x 60 sec subs at iso1600, 2 darks, Deepskystacker and Photoshop CS2.
Cheers

A good job you have fixed it.
I have used the full range of unit power finders...
...red dot is best
YMMV

Am a fan of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bortle_scale
I also have some favourite 'test' DSOs.

Have recently done some readings for the Yorkshire Dales National Park.
Separate nights have had 21.45 and 21.5 (averaged) in our garden.
