Description

Thought it was time to let the Mead 10inch SCT to have a turn in the observatory and enjoy some shelter from the wind. Also, the weather has been so abysmal, it was unlikely that I was going to get a night where I would risk setting up the Meade out on the driveway while the SkyWatcher enjoyed the security of the observatory.
The Esatto robotic focuser has certainly improved the reliability of focus runs on the scope and the Optec 0.63 focal reducer has helped speed up the Meade's f/10 focal ration just a bit.
