I'm now well into the swing of using it regularly for astrophotography and have already had two groups through.
Up on the observation deck at ASIGN Observatory II, processing the data collected through the telescope over the past few nights.

Downstairs, putting the finishing touches on the astrophotograph from the previous night.

I miss the place where stars shine bright, to gaze upwards in awe of the sight

WOOT! With the sale of all the photography gear, the EQ8 has now been bought and installed! The new RC12 Carbon fibre truss telescope arrives late Jan to mid Feb.

After many months of research and selling nearly everything that is near and dear to me, I finally drove to Sydney today to pick up a shiny new GSO RC12 inch Truss telescope. Let the steep learning curve begin!
