Interesting way to set up a scope

[Stu]

Trying to think if this could be setup any more incorrectly but I can't think of a way ;-)

Nothing to do with me, but nice scope when used properly

At least the right end is pointing up, I'm sure we've all seen pictures of newts with the OTA pointing at the ground.

Some nice kit there, hopefully it can find a home with someone that can use it.

TSED70Q, iOptron Smart EQ pro, ASI-120MM, Finepix S5 pro.

He could have put the H-alpha filter at the wrong end, and a EP back to front (would require doing serious damage to the scope, but hey, not impossible). I have frequently seen Newtonians set up for "geological studies", as it were, but with the finder mysteriously pointing upwards. Always brings a smaile to my face. Often I do go into the shop to give them a little advice. Doesn't always go down well (strangely),
