Is that an encoder with the AYO Master II or a full goto system?

[garryblueboy]

It's the encoder system 10,000 tics through Argo Navis can be connected to software via pc etc push too as a posed to GOTO

Yum ?, looks lovely  with matching clamp and focuser.

Get yourself a Herschel wedge and enjoy the sun through it too, the views are stunning!!

[avtaram]

Thanks Stu, I'm saving up for the Baader cool  wedge.

Ready for a Jupiter shoot out tonight. Towa 80mm F15 Vs Vixen 80mm F15. Which telescope will reveal the most detail!

Lovely setup Dave. I was so tempted by that Vixen f15, it looks beautiful. Glad you got it!

Looking forward to the results

Hi Stu, I posted the results of last night's observing on my observation thread. 

Here's a photo of my new to me Skylight 102mm F15. Ready for an observation session tonight.

Nice to see the ED120 still has some fans out there

And re -acquired suggests you were missing the cracking views they can produce

Enjoy ?

Does the finder come to focus with that diagonal? If so which one is it?

Don’t know yet - will try it tonight. It’s a Baader Amici Prism.

That prism does not reach focus

That is a shame. It seems to me to be a bit of an oversight by Skywatcher not to make it easily compatible for RACI use.

True. It is also quite bemusing that they could build a unit of this quality and still not put a compression ring in the EP holder

I'm a big fan of the 120ed thats why I didn't sell mine when I bought a Tak FC-100dc.
