Good to see your FLT98 finally arrived - and put to good use!

What mount are you using?

Hi,
Nice :D
didn't manage to get much frames with the strong wind blowing.
Yap the wind was very strong recently... big headache while doing drift star alignment... the stars was "moving" all over the view and very cold... :(

Hope to see more image soon...

Have a nice day.
