I don't think a remortgage will cut it - unless you get a 1,000,000% pay rise.

When you have the arcwelder out, construct a steel shed that will take both you, the scope, the microwave and your bed. Then sell the house outright. You may just cover the cost.

As ever, its one of those things that if you have to ask 'how much?' you can't afford it. Note that next to 'price' it says 'call'... QED

Oh yes, I specified Ion Milled optics - that adds another nought on the end...

Great image Dave. Amazing what that mount can do!!

On the 'constructive criticism' theme. I wonder a bit about contrast and why detail looks a bit grainy sometimes. Have you considered that you might be underexposing a tad? Dont get me wrong its a total credit to your imaging skill that you got such an amazing image. Its just that knowing your undoubted skill I wonder if there could be more dynamic range in shots like that?

BTW I'm really asking because I often feel my shots could do with a bit more range too. Us astro-snappers, were never happy are we?

Regards and Clear Skies,

Dave.
