This is when I had the Meade LX 200 12", I had the 111 piggybacked on it, with a Losmandy plate, DA blocks and fixed rings. It was extremely hard to balance, due to the fork mount, and I sometimes had to use an extra long 1/2" threaded rod on my balancing rig, along with extra weights. This image was 48- 75 second subs, iso 800, Canon modified XTI, unguided. This image was also rotated and cropped due to the way it was situated in the scope. With this set up it would have took to long to rotate the camera and refocus, Andy -------------------- Meade SN-10 Carbon Fiber TMB 92ss Mini Borg 50 Guidescope Celestron CGE Mount QHY8 Orion Starshoot Autoguider http://buzzer.zenfolio.com/ "I THINK THE WEATHERMAN NEEDS MORE EXPENSIVE EQUIPMENT" WANING CRESCENT OBSERVATORY Post Extras       Entire thread Subject Posted by Posted on Anything about the Astro Tech 111 mm ? ik507racer 02/08/08 08:04 PM Re: Anything about the Astro Tech 111 mm ?
