Almost ready for some Longer Focal length imaging

[Earl]

Scope and camera arrived today and the new pier mount.

Dome in the next month and then the new mount also.

WOW! Nice setup!

Lovely, Earl.  Which one is that, exactly?  It looks a bit like the Ikharus Ian King [used to] sell.

Having never owned/used a truss of any description, how does one keep the dust off the mirrors most effectively?  I imagine shrouds are more for stray light.  Do the mirrors have covers of some sort?

[VigdisVZ]

Wow! Looks like you shoot and kill a tank with that.

Waiting for firstlight report.

Yes it comes with a shroud and shower cap top, it has some cobwebs in there whch need sorting but no hurry as i cant do anythign until the dome is in place now.
