Hi Milton,

Tell me about it it's raining here with possible snow forecast, last week I was sun bathing in my shorts! (not underpants I hasten to add I don't know what you call them).

I need a 3x barlow/amplifier with SCT threads on both sides Takahashi only do the 2x one. I used to use a manual filter wheel but was cheap and caused a lot of flexure and I used to get lost on what filter I was on with it. The Trutek filter wheel is powered and my imaging system is solid as a rock I just need to work out a way to get a bigger image scale, perhaps extension tubes would work?

TTYL
