  3. Despite my sig, I still have the Vixen...... having sold my AZEQ6, I'm hatching a crazy plan to build a mount for it before SGL11! Watch this space, it could be amusing ;)

      Certainly is Gerry. Crazy that I'm sitting here thinking all my big scopes have gone when I have this to use! Just need a mount that I can afford, which is where my plan comes in ;)

      I still have the Meade Giant tripod and 16" pillar, so no issues with height. I've got a few ideas on bearings which I'll share if they look like working!

  4. Down to the TAL and the Tak, biggest problem though is no clear skies!

  5. At least I don't need to change my sig. The Tal just joins the gaggle

  6. Pretty much sorted now kit wise, looking forward to a great Autumn's observing. Fingers crossed!!

      Likewise, i guess i will be adding one scope at some stage and not sure which one, lets hope we have some really good clear skies mainly at weekends when work does not get in the way

  7. Uh oh, AYODigi had a problem and is going back :-(. AZEQ6 now in hand from Helen - Thankyou!
