Folks - you all missed the Celbridge Star-B-Q today! Sorry I didn't invite anyone...
It was so nice that I set the C8 up and took some snaps of the sunspots on view today and I got a chance to use the Televue PowerMate. Lovely piece of kit, as one expects from Teleview (thanks Eugene). Views with the 16mm Nagler and the PowerMate together were superb.
The first pic was taken without the PowerMate, the second with. With the PowerMate, focal ration is f/25.
