Nice setup, I really like the tripod you have. Is that a Meade design?
I just spent the night trying to focus better with a focusing mask. I'll add a pic of my "bumpkin" kit to my gallery sometime... I've got the walmart etx-60, the $99 DSI, and the Nascar PC images
I'm starting to be more conscious of the image of a "redneck astronomer" I'm cultivating.

Speaking of cultivating, Thats a really nice flower bed in your image.

No Matt - it predates Meade and actually it's a bit wobbly in the wind and needs some bracing
