Hi, I Thought it was about time I posted a picture or two on this thread.
The Hand controller sit in my home made bracket. It's a great position to have it, easy to use and read. Although it doesn't look so from the viewing angle, but the O.T.A misses it with ease. The white disk on the focuser is my fine focuser. It's crude, but it works. The E.P is the Baader Hyperion 24mm - 8mm zoom.
Regards Peter.
