Good result.

Well if nothing else it has me not focused on the street light as mentally I have eliminated it..it is a piece of mind thing.

And its funny given where I come from the best dark site ever...but I built it to manage the star light getting down the tube...

I look at it this way ..when you see that the canon lens used in the dragon fly array is wonderful because it has less internal reflection than anything else ..well stray light must be important....But I need to do a test...

Persoanlly even without the test I would say to anyone to build and fit one I just think it is that much better.
