Description

This wasn't meant to be a stunt It's just that this target has been the night's backup as my "main" current project sets early. I think I've got an equivalent amount of time on this is LRGB  But - I screwed up, kind of. This is with my AT115EDT. I'd started out using a Ho-Tech SCA flattener - but then realized it was entirely possible to use an all-threaded connection, so why the heck wasn't I? So I removed my camera assembly, added an adapter to the draw tube, and then realized that - oh crap - I've thrown my rotation angle off.  Could I have NINA to figure out where I was and where I need to rotate things to back to where I should?  Yes!!! Did I?  Nope!! Because that would take effort and I am really just lazy as heck.
