Comments:  prime focus 8'' f6.3 SCT. I've been rejigging the mounting system for my telescopes to a side by side saddle system with dovetails (homemade). Finally got it together and the results look good. I think there are still some flexure problems (the stars are not great in this and the M16 shot) but I can now switch the 8'' and 5'' scopes in less than 5 minutes

Comments:  prime focus 5'' f5 refractor. Just completed my flat light box and it makes a big difference to the pictures. This would have been even better but I encountered tracking problems part way through and the moon rose before I could fix the problem and take some additional exposures. I think I've got the focusing spot on.
