Looks great. Very nice. I had the same setup on my last FSQ. Except I was using the smaller filter wheel. As I recall the rings had to be all the way back for balance and the scope focuses most of the way in which is good for less flex.

I also used Robofocus and it handled the weight. Like most focusers though if you went out past focus coming back the other way never seems to be the same distance to get it sharp again. So now I tend to watch for the spike in the focus graph and I have a good feel for what a tightly focused image looks like using the Proline.

The Robofocus can be setup for temperature compensation. I refocus after the first 45 minutes or so with the Honders and then I set the temp compensation to 350 clicks per 1 degree C temperature change in the SkyX and adjusting every .1C difference and it seems to match the focus shift fairly well. FSQ is probably similar.
Robofocus needs the sensor accessory though. The Atlas has one built in.

Greg.
