OS Veloce RH200 has arrived

Hi folks.
took delivery of an RH200 yesterday. Optical train will consist of an SBIG STF8300/FW8300-8 - full carousel/SBIG OAG/SBIG STi guider. Unbelievably, I had an adapter that was just the right length and style to interface the camera package to the scope, and put the system at optimum backfocus distance. With this, the focusser extends by 4mm, plenty of room to get FM VCurves.
I dont have the motor kit for motorised focussing yet but that is inbound.

System resolution will be 1.86asp. Scope was out of collimation on receipt so got close to fixing that last night, but will need to work the tip/tilt arrangements to fix the residual error.

Should be a fun system to work with.

Thumbails attached.

cheers
Martin
