Great scope and wonderful image.

Thanks

Dave, here's something of interest (you may already be aware of it): Bahtinov mask

It's a focusing aid that is simple enough to make and takes some of the pain out of using the viewfinder on an SLR with no live-view. I've yet to make one myself (they can also be purchased) but I've seen the results and it's quite straightforward.

thanks for that Martinus,
I already made one up for the scope and tried it out, its grand for the eyepiece but the star images through the camera are alot fainter, even with the likes of vega, so its not really usable for focusing the 300D unfortunately with this scope, oh well :-(

These are fantastic lunar photos. And with a normal Intes MK67. Imagine with a Deluxe version.
