Dodging the clouds 6 December 2022

Yesterday we had heaps of clouds to deal with but managed to squeeze in a few videos in the breaks.

Beautiful work on all. I especially like the second inverted image and the following 540nm image. What was the make of scope used on the 540nm image? Sky-Watcher? Astro-Tech?

Two thumbs up!!

Thanks James.
The scope is a SkyWatcher EvoStar 72ED.
I almost bought one of those but settled on the Astro-Tech AT72EDII instead. It has two ED elements Vs the SW72's one. Still the EvoStar is rated well and is well liked.

The Astro-Tech would be a very nice unit James. One of the reasons we got the SW was easy availability in Australia. So far, we are quite happy with it for our applications.
