Hi all. I just got back from the Oregon coast. Wow, that place is gorgeous!
Kudos to everyone for all the great pics while I was away. They have been great!
I am working to get my Tak CN-212 set up correctly for a little more astro work. I am trying to get the metal back distance correct, and I still don't have the right adapters. But, I pieced together a quasi-adapter that is getting closer to the right distance. Here is an image from last night. I am getting much less flexure with the new setup, and the stars seem to be a little better. I'll keep trying till I get it right! Comments and suggestions are always welcome.
Cheers,
Tyler
