I finally managed to find the right bolts for my rings. 1/4" Whitworths - imperial. Homebase/B+Q only sell metric it seems.

.... and do you think I had the right allen key in my collection? No, of course not.

Still all is well and first light with my new rig went ok last night despite the mag 3/4 seeing and stellarium/EQMod alignment issues.

Sounds like the same one I have mike its a seriously large book. First time I tried to use it in the dark I thought the writing was to faint then realised the pages were doubled over they were that large and I hadn't opened them up lol.

The charts are about 16" x 20" Steve. I purchased it used off a fellow observer here in the SGL classifieds. Its the deluxe version, 2nd edition, but not laminated, which is no problem as I have a few plastic sleeves of the right size. There is a companion guide book available for this atlas which will be my next buy; I've got to keep up the pace with Pat you know. :grin:

Edit: Is this like yours Steve ?

Yup thats the one Mike- in fact I've got both of them and still not brilliant at reading them if I'm honest.
