Hi Mark, my name is Jim.

Would you mind filling me in on the particulars of your profile gif, the one that appears to show the movement of stars. I’m aware that movements of deep space objects have been time-lapse recorded, but I’ve seen nothing to match your gif. Thank you, Mark

  Hi Jim, yes it’s the movement of the stars around Sag A*- the black hole at the centre of our galaxy. Not sure if it’s real or reconstructed but it’s pretty cool! It’s 20years with of motion so they are moving very fast!

A Shot in the Dark! Still redoing my TAL 2M Mount & wonder how to remove that Big upper Bearing on DEC Shaft? Not much room. Should I try a Dremel cutoff wheel?

Thanks, Starman18
