That's Correct.
Did this with my 8" F4 last night. Then an 'out-of-focus star test' showed 2ndry obstruction in center (One Step Forward) but is somehow producing a double shadow from one of the spider veins, no biggy & hopefully twiddle it right next time or see how it corresponds with a focused exposure 1st ..
Mmmm, the plot thickens !

I am also changing cameras, the zwo 290 chip is way to small
