Testing last night.
Differential flexure problem has been resolved with the new rings.
As for the stars...... lots of array squaring to do in the nights ahead. It's too bad that a scope of this nature does not have micrometer adjustments on the tip tilt. But I am using a dial guage on the back plate to measure the plate changes at least put some numbers on the the fine adjustments.
I don't have a humdity problem here in the US, but when this scope gets moved to Coonabarabran, the humidity is always high there. I keep the dew heaters always running on the FSQ.
My quick RBG tests are interesting. 300 seconds per sub is about all I'll need. Both my Paramount and AP 1200 can easily run 300 seconds uncorrected so this should be a fun point and shoot system which was really my goal running remotely with this instrument.
more to come, and maybe even an image
