Adaptor progress report

After a few days of laziness, I finally got around to tweaking the OTA to my satisfaction and installed the JB adaptor and 1" RC spacer. I then screwed the 90-48mm adaptor to it and then the 48-42 to OCAL and checked the results. Only a smidgen of difference to the OTA-only result, and as promised, I didn't re-adjust the OTA further.

I then added the tilt adaptor and set all its adjustment screws to zero tilt. There was a very slight shift in OCAL result, and I then spent about ten minutes fine tuning the tilt adjuster screws to come up with a reasonable looking result. As I still need to install the focuser, I didn't bother aiming for total perfection.

Thunder and lightning around, so called it a day. Pics below.
