Re: [APML] OT: M42 in 3-D

Steve, beautiful images. Stunning. (Although I wasn't able to get the 3-D effect. The images were too far apart for me to bring them together.)

I have a question on your mount. You say you piggybacked on a Meade LX90, which was mounted on a superwedge. You also say it was very breezy. I have the LX200, which I find to be very unstable in any kind of wind. So, what's your secret? Does the relatively short focal length of your imaging scope (400 mm) forgive the inherent unstableness of the mount? Or do you have some other secret you can share?
