New telescope
Skywatcher 200 F4 PREMIUM PHOTO QUATTRO REFLECTOR OTA and new set up. this is after shooting last nights image.


those astute enough to notice at the back I have my black beany this has a two fold purpose keep the warmth in on the main mirror and its main job to cover the light leaks that come through the back bottom plate on the telescope.

The beany was a tip for Brendan the true Guru and Carlos's mentor Skywatcher in the infinite wisdom put in a white bottom rather than black or dark so no light leaks through. what you are really looking at is 100% all the bits that ran the ED80 are all here but for some new parts to fit to the telescope. The way I set up the ED80 is very much the way I set this up I know its big but its 98% air as its a mirror collecting the light. I hope its not luck but a good understanding and management.

I have earned the Nickname MacGyver from Carlos as I tend to do thing myself and fix them, I am happy that I am still able to as I get older.
