      Great to hear the 125r up and running. Did you sort out the little nitches, Mark? Would love to hear more reports on that little gem of yours.

      I have noticed the moon the last few nights too, still not entirely clear enough to warrant setting up but it is a welcome visitor.

  7. Trying to decide on what laptop....doing my head in

      Good luck with that one! I'd help if I could, but I'm not so good with computer stuff.

      the TAL spent more time on the mount than the WO last night I guess?

    3. Qualia

      Qualia

      If that is so (Tal more on mount than the ED) you could get 2 mounts? One for visual one for imaging.

    4. nightfisher

      nightfisher

      I have 3 mounts, yes the tal was used most

  10. woop woop, friday night looking good for 1st light with zenithstar, and try the tal modifications out
