Quite a nice result! With the low likelihood of getting any imaging time this weekend, I think I need to get back to some editing and give some of your techniques a try! At least when I'm not busy deforking my LX200 8 inch! 😅
@SKYST0RY me neither! It will be an interesting endeavor, for sure! I initially thought maybe I would put it on a wedge and try it out since my AVX mount would be a challenge for anything much over 1000mm FL. Then I added an AM5 mount to my arsenal and figured I might as well defork the SCT and try it out.
Interesting.

Is it a big deal to take a scope off a fork mount?
@@SKYST0RY big enough, since I've never done it...and there is risk of scratching the OTA.
@@d.fresh.750 Good luck with that. I've never worked with a forked mount.

Bortle 1.5! Color me VERY jealous!
I know right? I live in bortle 5.5 or something like it. And the the darkest sky in my country is 3.
