127ED is ready for business!

Here is the 127ED with the new 80mm Guide Scope and StellarVue F50W2 finder. I made the mounting place for the guide scope and the saddles for the Orion rings too.
I rebuilt the focuser on both the 80mm and the 127ED. A little Teflon for the 127ED and a lot of Mylar for the 80mm. Now they both work very well. The 80mm is not bad for a plastic focuser after I rebuilt it! wink
Now for a chance to try the Auto-guider and the DSI II Color on the night sky! That is if the weather cooperates. wink

Nice rig you have there Floyd. 8)

Now that you're going to be spending ALL your time imaging and you need to unload any of the soon to be neglected visual accessories like an EP or two maybe I can help you out. wink

I hear those CCD cameras can get real expensive.

Awesome setup, Floyd. I'm sure you'll want to replace that plastic focuser ASAP. Hope to be able to look through that 127 next weekent.
