Hi Peter,
I actually thought you were going to be harder than what you were.
Thank you for the feedback and the confirmation of what I kind of already knew.
The seeing was terrible but it was the only semi clear night on the horizon and i was inching to try the new camera.
Focusing was by hand with a Bahtinov mask and it was cold
. I'm looking at the ZWO or QHY focuser.
The OTA is pretty ordinary too, Looking at getting a f4 or f5 Newtonian with a wider field.
Guiding? an OAG is preference.
The problem I have is what to upgrade first.
I do have a background in photography but astro is pretty new to me.
After starting out with a non-cooled camera I quicky found that the first thing that needed upgrading was the camera and seeing the difference it made (even with poor seeing) has got me excited and confirmed I'll be sticking at this.
Again, thank you for the feedback and no need to ask my permission to give it either.!
