LtE in CMO #239

From André NIKOLAI


@. . . . . . A Happy New Year and good health for you all!

Today I had mounted my telescope on my new balcony. Unfortunately my refractor is to long and the balcony to tight, so I will have problems to watch objects at low latitudes (like Mars in this apparition). I have no place between the eyepiece and the wall behind, also my camera. At higher latitudes (> -10 degrees) it will go right, also at the directions ESE or WSW but not in near of the meridian. I have planned to effort a Maksutov-Cassegrain, this will solve this problems with more aperture in the same time.
Best wishes
