Saturday 41F mixed weather with rain, overcast and weak sunny spells. Tomorrow is promising all day sunshine. So I removed the folded 7" and refitted the 6" H-alpha telescope.A single 5kg weight was too much even at its closest to the mounting. So I added the 90mm f/11 Vixen outboard for white light. Still not balanced! So I added three brass weights. Close enough to work now and I can always add the last brass weight. Or fit the rail for a sliding weight.
I still have to fit the 9x50 finder so that will help too. It will have to go on the Vixen. Because I no longer have a conventional focuser, with dovetail housing, on the 6".
I just want to be ready if tomorrow offers a chance to do some more H-alpha imaging.
