I’m not sure why but somehow I found myself looking at the 2013 NEAF review of some Astro-physics mounts and software. I was blown away by the description of the APCC control of the mount. Is there a

Great stuff Roland! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 I always marvel at the incredible works posted by this group but it is so fun to see the results of impromptu pix. That’s some kinda nice “telephoto” lens you used. 😂😂😂 Pete
