martin_h Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Finally got all the bits together to get it all balanced, less strain on the guiding with luck, and it's just a matter of swapping over the filter wheel and CCD for a bit of wide field work, leaving the OAG on the RC for a huge guide scope!

swag72 Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Looking good Martin - I did find this one a tricky customer to balance and ended up with some weights at the front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sloz1664 Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Yep that looks smashing. Really nice set-up. Your scopes started to shrink, but are now getting bigger....... 8" guide scope . That 7 x 2" filterwheel is a bit of a beast as well. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was handy the star 71 being front heavy. Might get another counterweight for the RA tho, had to use the extension bar and it gets in the way.
