Re: Degree Circles, Wixey, Red LED light

Finally first light with the push to on my z10. I thought if it was going to rain another day I would plant rice here.

One word wow. My interest in a goto scope has diminished considerably. First off there are so many trees in my yard I decided to use a spot were I could not see Polaris in order to view Jupiter as a first target. I leveled the base and used my trusty Silva Ranger for polar alignment. Spun the ole z10 to the alt azm numbers on stellarium and bingo Jupiter right in fov in the 32mm 2". I then moved to were I could see Polaris and got m 51 and m 81 and a fading view of Saturn.

Total cost about 30$ and a couple of hours labor.

Thanks to all for this great system.

Bob
