My scope in only 80mm has an alt-azm mount, so although I have the fittings for the dSLR I really need the LPI for stacking and rotating. I can't wait to see what I can get once the longer nights arrive.

Just saw you were into astrophotography, amazing shots on flicker! I've got a smaller scope and a meade lpi but I've not had a chance to use it yet. (Summer in Scotland and the sun barely sets so even at 2 am the sky is still light, plus it's usually cloudy and raining).

What did the mount cost you, if you don't mind me asking?

Hello Rob, thanks for the message

Let's just say I speak Colonial English.
Can't argue with that and yes....thank goodness for the edit facility

Thanks for having a look at my thread.
Extremely interesting, Rob, I did enjoy it.

A lofty goal, perhaps. But I'd like to think it's possible.
A lofty goal indeed, but I'm up for it.
If continue to think the same as we always thought, and do what we always did,
we'll get what we always got, and thats not good enough.

The colonials have the best of the arguement here and the words, meaning and intent are more important than those who would criticise the spelling.
Take care Rob, I hope we speak again
Regards Steve

Well, that's gotta be the first time someone has said I was wise... usually there's another word attached to that... starts with 'a' and ends with 's'.

Thanks for the message ressalg, and not wishing to be a wise arse, but wise arse actually ends in an 'e'
Great thread link buddy, and what an interesting hobby, and expensive but thats one heck of a set-up

Shakespere wrote;
Horatio:
O day and night, but this is wondrous strange!

Hamlet:
And therefore as a stranger give it welcome.
There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio,
Than are dreamt of in your philosophy.

The world and the universe is a pretty big place, and what did you type;
what good is all this knowledge if you can't share it with others

Your words were wise ressalg, its just your spelling that was crap

cheers Steve

Wow! Throw it back in her face?!? I think a polite, "I'm sorry, but that's not really what I was looking for" would be a lot more appropriate. And a hell of a lot less likely that the photographer will tell you to take a long walk off a short pier. But then again, that's just me. Oh, and a nebula is a large cloud of dust and gas. I'd say it's more of a star or super nova. (Ok, now I'm just nit-picking. *ha!*)

I can only laugh at this comment back to harrysixtie7... actually you had me laughing for a good, one and a half minutes lol and still giggling. some people are tooo serious! thanks for the laugh Rob
