Description

My main telescope has a focusing problem: with the cold, it has run out of course to focus. It happens every year, but as the Esatto has very short travel, it's hard to get something that works all year round. As I'm not on location, I can't fix the problem.

So I decided to turn my setup on its head: use the emergency guide scope (60/290mm) as main telescope and use the main telescope (355/2848mm) for guiding.

For a first test, I did a few hours on Orion. It shows that you can have fun even with a tiny, tiny telescope.
