DO LOOK AT THIS BIG.
The EGG the dragons are fighting over
I was given Carlos small rig Sharpstar 61EDPH II,ED Glass,APO,F5.9,Refractors,Aperture 61mm and a Primaluce SESTO SENSO Focuser which has an overall focal length of 275mm but depending which camera I put on it I can get 1100mm or 412 mm out of the same set up. I dont have short cables most of mine are 1.8m long i had three piled up on top but I was able to make two shorter ones for this rig.
To get balance I had to add a weight to the camera as I had to use my guide scope which is bigger and more front heavier than Carlos one. As the Computer is under the front I also had to add a small wire to tie up the front to make sure it was all stable.
Has not gone without problems the Focuser had a change of Drivers 3 times so I was always behind and having to calibrate each night. I am now up to date and I know what the problem is if it happens again.
This is a 2 shot panorama horizontal in the shot 3 nights each panel so there is plenty of data in the shot this was interrupted by the day of big rain.
QHY183C -10 39 shots per nights per panel 3 nights each.
600 sec each shot.

I had a comment on the photo in our Facebook page of the camera set up all those wires. It only looks daunting when you know how it works they are very important and part of the task of taking the photo. I have been off here due to internet problems hope those are over the price of all the works out in the suburb.
