Very nice! Great detail.

Do you have a picture of that setup? Would love to see it.

 

Thanks for the complements and the likes. The encouragement helps.

Here is a pic of the scope from several years ago. The I*Star 'guide scope' is just a gag. Also an image of the Parallax mount
next to a Losmandy G11. The setup works well but at f/9 it a more sensitive camera (ahem '455 class) would be nice.

 

I knew it had to be a beast of a mount but I didn't realize it was that big. The scope makes the mount look like a G11 though.
