G11 degreased & relubed Ago24

First disassembly ever, to degresase and relub my 2008 mount.

Easy to do,  though degreasing is quite boring and time consuming.

Done with isopropil alcohol. Waiting for superlube delivery, which is due on Monday.

Then, hope no parts are left on the table after full assembly :-)

Can't remember the last time I imaged Saturn... 

First Saturn of this 2012/13 season.

This has been a very long and cloudy winter, spring and summer and I was just lucky enough this evening, just before the clouds rolled in once again... the Blue channel was recorded with very low transparency due to clouds rolling in.

I just can't believe this!

Seeing: better than average around here, but not able to go to f/30.

July 5th was the 2nd hottest day this year: 41ºC (105.8ºF) so I only went out at 19:00UT...
The Sun was low and through clouds and ash haze which made it impossible to capture the avi with   the usual settings (1/45sec).
