Subject: my uncle`s work in attaching my C10 to his old mount..


Maybe a little OT but interesting from an astronomy standpoint..

My uncle John, last year bought my C10 reflector tube from me.. This enabled me to buy my Nikon D5000 DSLR.

Here`s some shots of his work adapting the scope (you can see the rings there) to his old Equatorial mount at his place in Sydney..

The scope came as a C10-NGT new, about 5 years ago. I`ve been having trouble with runaway slews with the CG-5 more recently but now have a CGEM being Hypertuned at Deep Space Products..It`ll then have to be shipped at some cost home to Australia..

Here`s a shot of the C10 itself..

Clear skies,
