Hi Theo!

Tested it on the streetlight after I took out everything out the back including the image correcting prism. QHY5 was able to pick the streetlight on PHD. It seems to me that the prism changes the focal length such that you may need an extender/barlow for it to work.

With straight through connection using the 2" adaptor however it does pick up the image.

It's predicted to rain this week so I'll probably set up the kit next time I get a clear night and see if I can pick up some bright stars.

Thanks for you help as always mate...

Regards
