[QUOTE="STM, post: 751732, member: 12827"] Something else that has helped me tremendously, not having a go-to mount yet, is this little sight I built out in the shop. It is made from some 1" Sch 80 PVC pipe and two pieces of clear 0.1" acrylic sheet. I made a "reticle" in PS and used it as a template to mark around the rear piece of acrylic with glow in the dark paint. The front piece only has 1 dot in it, that is the out of focus "blob" in the image lower right. With a long lens, trying to slew the camera to a small nebula is a pretty difficult task to say the least, but with this little $5 home made gadget, it is a piece of cake! Necessity [I]is[/I] the mother of all inventions! [ATTACH=CONFIG]351529._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
