Neat stuff. If this is the quickie... what can go into the extended version. Again you have set the bar just a little higher for me... Sent from my SM-A500F using Tapatalk

Thanks for the first light review. I'm not really a pixel and corner guy... more a WOW that is a totally brilliant pic off a first light run, type of guy. Do you prefer a Red Dot Finder (RDF) above lens based finders? For me I'm afraid the RDF is a bit of a waste of time and have lately been using the star finder off the android. I use SkEye what do you think? Sent from my SM-A500F using Tapatalk

Nice project. .. one of the reasons i choose astronomy as a hobby was it didn't require heavy lifting. Well that's when i only had a 10x80 pair of binocs, then apperture fever struck!Now my friends in SGL have given me a dose of OBSY what is the goal of the obsy? Just to keep equipment and you from elements? What is size of scope planned for 2.4mx2.4 When considering a diy obsy... but how much clearance and walk space do u plan Sent from my SM-A500F using Tapatalk

Great in memorium thanks guys! I'm new in telescope world and these heros and leave great milestones. One easily forgets the giants whose shoulders we so easily stand to admire the new horizons that never saw. Mr Sinden certainly sounded like a giant in our time and a real gentleman too.
