I have got a much bigger tripod since the old one is too light and thin, it even falls down twice!
Got a clear sky briefly tonight after much rain, but it's still windy, so it's a test of the stability of the setup rather than an imaging session.
I have slewed the Meade 8" SCT around, and the setup remained stable, no sign of tipping over. I won't say it's rock solid, but it's definitely a stable setup. Good enough for manual focusing, but of course, the resuilt tonight is not good enough, most likely due to the wind.
Take at prime focus, I didn't pull out any barlows for it does not make sense under such wind!
