It is a Wimberley, I find that it works really well with the Traveler. For me at least it's my most-used mount.

It's actually quite comfortable. I have a chair but didn't have it out that night and the bucket was nearby.

As another CN'r is doing, I'm also experimenting with imaging through the AR-6. I'm only doing monochrome (so far) and have seen that I can get pretty good images using a Baader Contrast Booster or yellow-green filters. My experiments will continue with some other filters.

I'm not sure what's going on with them. I can't see yours but, photos on all other posts show.

I'll check again when I get home to my own computer.

John... That is an impressive Unitron ya have there. Reminds me of my Antares 105mm, f/12.4. I'll have to get that one out again one of these days.

Helcarexe... Now I can see them! For some reason they weren't showing up at my work computer. Odd, since the others were there. Impressive scope that AR-6!

Many work places block photos on the photobucket site. Every place I have worked had blocked the site.
