Hi Frank, Richard,
How long have you been enjoying your UCs?
I just received my UC22 in early January.?
It is quite a beast.?
I unfortunately couldn¡¯t get a ServoCAT as the company fell victim to the Si Chip shortage. So sad as they have served the community for so long. But did get an Argo. ?
First big scope. Only used 10¡± dob prior. Getting comfortable with it.?
I had to modify my house for it. A slider door got converted into French double doors.?
Win-win as the wife is excited about doors ?
Just had it out tonight looking at M42, M45 and Betelgeuse.?
Wow to all of them. The filaments in M42. The blues too. Simply wow.?
Betelgeuse looked like a fireball. Like the color of our sun. Beautiful.?
Incredible instrument thanks to Dave Kriege.?
What have you been able to see? ?By the way, I am strictly a visual observer.?

Yes it does.? I often think about moving over to the dark side!? Though after retirement my son and I should have our property out in West Texas away from the moisture of Houston and those lousy "lights at night is good" mantra!
Clear skies!

Thanks Frank.
Does your UC22 have ServoCAT installed?
Would be fun to slip a Mallincam DS278c camera into your feather touch focuser.
