Here a some shots I got last night, first night out in 3 months!
Had to dodge some passing clouds. Seeing was not that great.
I did get to test my 2 new drive correctors, and I am pleased with them. (one a Meade Dual Axis Joystick, and one a Celestron Dual Axis with pushbuttons).
Was able to track beautifully. Now I may have to try wome shots with my modified Vesta.
I will be getting a new 900 at work, and may try it for planetary shots. For normal work, our test unit was definitely better than the 740, need to see how it does with planetary work. Just wished they made getting the lens off easier!

Brian, nice shots! If possible, try animating them in a .gif file. I think you'd end up with a decent rotation movie. Thanks for posting

Regards,
Steve
