Saturday night, all by myself at Wind Wolves Preserve. Sun was just going down and I was all set to image. Great place, not too far from home, 30 minutes and locked gates so no traffic at all. 8)

Then here is the new guide scope setup, ready to go. It worked wonderfully, very pleased with the little ST80. Note the weight added to the front of the ST80 plate, just enough steel to get a good nose balance.
Wind did not cause any movement with the shorter scope.
Total weight of system with cameras and all, 19 lbs. smile

Floyd,

You have the best sites to shoot from! Make the best of them! That's an order! 8)

You're taking some pretty cool shots, BTW!

[COLOR="Purple"]That looks like a great place to image, Floyd!

Any light domes or are you far enough out to not have any?
