Observing has been great with the scope. I'm not much in the way of a trained observer let alone astronomer however, views of globulars are particularly fascinating to me.. I can spend hours looking at M13. Spiral galaxies are a close second.

Projects on the burner include a drive system. I have a TECH 2000 hooked up with over running clutches on both az/el. Wish I had more time to play but, work and the domestic has all my time.

More scope pictures, (thumbnails below). I don't have any pics of the drive system scanned yet but, I hope to have some soon. These are just some more angles on the scope.
