I am pleased to hear this exercise was succesful :-)
So it is autofocus? ... When asking you about focus, I was actually suggesting you should be able to use your lenses in manual focus mode without problems...
As mentioned earlier, you could also try to remove/replace the spacers (between mirror box and sensor board) to sort autofocus without Badder glass (which is too expensive IMO).
And as you noticed, even if the modded camera is used only for astro photography, it is still worth the effort
