Yes. So whole lot moves together. Rough with mirror then fine with crayford. There is no change of length focal reducer

Hi. I used the focal reducer spaced to the camera with the sct t adapter. Then slid into the crayford focuser with a 2 inch to sct male adapter. Focus was achieved with the crayford dialed half way out. Then rough focus with the main sct focuser. It allowed the ultra fine in/out focus with the crayford. That was with a 10 meade and 6.3 reducer. Hope this helps and clear skies

Mono vs LED streetlights? Any point?
Robert Hayes replied to Space_Plane's topic in Getting Started With Imaging
I had a problem with led lighting. Was real bad glare. Emailed a polite query to the council. (Bexley) explained I do astrophotography and the problem and asked could they put a shield on the lamp. Within a week they put a side shade on. Unfortunately that only cut it down by 50%. I wrote giving an update and thanked them again and said about only 50% block. The came and fut another shade on the rear too and now I have none. Of course it's been cloudy since but where my scope can only go is glare free. It's always worth asking as nothing to lose. Clear skies. -

Looks really good. You should be well pleased with that I would. I'd like to get low horizon but have trees. Cant get the planets and mars only just.

Turned out to be camera cable. causing problems making apt freeze.

Could be a long night trying sort out apt which seems to be crashing every 5 mins.

Perhaps a sundial. Then pop it off and put your extension on/in? -
Pop to a welder. Should be able to braze it together.
