CELESCOPE Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 well my first night out in the Dome ,noooo imaging , YES just viewing for change , must say i,m pleased , it feels very comfortable , as there was a wind blowing ,and i could,nt feel a thing ehehheh , ok so thought i would try the scope and mount make sure everything was ok , done my alignment ,that was fine, no problem just moving the dome around ,very light and easy ,popped in my 6.3 reducer , just in case the GO-TO was out , choose M27 as i knew this would be a fairly bright object even with the Moon up , slewed around and placed it just off centre of the eyepiece, in full,view , but just a tiny tweak , sat and gazed for some time , amazing view, , must admit its been a while for me just viewing, anyway went for m57 next , surprised that the scope slewed all around to get there , knew right away there would be a problem, sure enough , no sign of m57 , Darn mirror flop i guess, so thats that then ,needs to be sorted , next i will try the skywatcher 200, that should be fine , but had to finish ,packed in a while ago as clouds came over, so all in all i,m happy , oh and i jumped up and down beside the scope , my17 stone made no difference , not a a wobble still as a mill pond , great news that , so onwards and upwards no i guess ,Thats it folks Rog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaptain Klevtsov Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Tried the jumping upand down trick on mine as well Rog. I get the impression that some of the designs on the net are paid for by the concrete salesmen. Can't wait for the proper images mate.Kaptain klevtsov Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GordonCopestake Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 Sounds like an ideal setup to me! I'm sorely tempted by a C11 when I get around to building my roll off. Thats next years project I think though, there always seems to be something else the missus wants doing that more important, like new kitchens and the like!
