Very nice. reading away now. Thanks!

[skfboiler]

Thanks. I've downloaded many pdf's on this subject and bought a couple of books. This is by far the best I've seen. It even talks about Gimp that I have as I am financially challenged to buy Photoshop.

Nice find there mate !!

Noticed on one of the scope rings on the 200p has a camera mount fitted- might give it a try tonight.

Excellent stuff! Can't believe this is free to download - must be twenty quids worth?

Hush indeed. I can't even remember where I got it from -- I think it was just random search

Good link there mate, it'll keep me busy while a) waiting for the poxy weather to clear & distracting myself away from realising the amount of money this hobby is starting to cost me

[emadmoussa]

Yeah, tell me about it! It's costly indeed...but what the hell!! You only live once...as long as the wife doesn't know all the details

By the way, if you have a smart phone you can always do a perfect Polar alignment without the need for the polarscope to be perfectly fitted. I fiddled with the idea earlier today and it worked like magic. Here...

Cheers mate, i'll give that a go. As for the money side of all this, my original plan back in Oct last year was to get my 130m (£175) with the plan of learning the sky & maybe upgrading in a years time hahaha yeah right ( I've had an interest in the night sky since i was a kid but life intervened & it took a back seat til last year when I thought about getting myself my first scope) its been less than 4 months since the 130m & with the new scope (200p), camera, ep's, filters blah blah etc etc......I've been through nearly £1200 Once my serial cable's arrived i'm then set up for starting AP & hopefully wont need to buy anything else for a while Although I do plan on the NEQ6 in a years time haha........Watch this space.
