Neat. I have the same lens setup. I really should get on it and finish it.
Thanks for the kick in the seat of the pants, Clint!
Cheers

Re: 155mm F3 refractor, Victor C Rogus.
Great article, thanks Clinton I'll have to look for that book as well. I'm also intrigued by the line about using sand for tracking, much like an hourglass. I can see how that could work!
And as well, I have a barn door tracker I made about 10 years ago. I've embarrassingly never even tried it....!
That might change, if my skies ever get clear
Thanks again and all the best,
