Re: Post a Pic of Your Refractor(s)! (restart)

Thanks, friends of refractors. Yes sir, that is a Manon 60mm refractor of focal length 700mm. I have total control of that setup over ethernet from the house now. The only thing I cannot do is open and close the roof, power it up and down and remove lens caps. Well, since I dont have a pointing model, I do have to go out and calibrate on a star in the vicinity of the object being photographed. After a meridian flip I'm about 20 arcmin off aim.
