I finally found a way of mounting my little Orion Starblast on the GM-8. I had to make a few modifications to the scope as the MX7 would not come to focus. After a bit of tinkering I managed to kludge a way of raising the mirror a little and I was not dissapointed! This shot is a stack of 140 integrations of 10 seconds each. I used Jerry Lodriguss' Composites and Layer Masks tutorial to bring out the core in Photoshop.
