Photo description / processing

The sky here near St. Petersburg is done until at least August. So I can take my time preparing my setup(s) for the summer vacation. At first, I thought about taking two separate setups, but then I decided that my Bolivar, aka the AM-5, can handle both. The only place where I can attach a second scope (Sharpstar 50EDPH + 0.84 Reducer) to the Askar 103APO is the handle on top, but that creates a very long lever arm, and the second scope with accessories weighs 2 kg. I printed two new rings and a handle, mounting the scope below and to the side. I like this much better, and most importantly, the load on the RA axis drive is reduced.
