Ring Nebula http://www.slas.us/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=2169&g2_imageViewsIndex=1 Just got my new setup finished. Took a few upgrades to get the Orion Atlas to handle the Orion 10" OTA. Had to get a Losmandy style dovetail and adapter for the atlas. I plan on more upgrades for the mount to help with the tracking. This is a heavy setup! Enjoy! More to come with a new moon on the way.
