Thanks Glen. Yes fortunately I have had the RC imaging for the last 8 or 9 months. I had to recommission it after several issues arose with the old computer, a new rotating focuser, new computer and several other problems. All of which now seem to be resolved and that means I have at least one system gathering data.
The AG12 project has been a disaster overall and does not seem to have a commissioning completion in site. Optically the scope is ok, but the corrector seems to have issues with the threads which is causing quite bad tilt. For such an expensive corrector I am quite angry about not being able to use the scope by now. So thankfully the RC12 is able to image and produce half decent images. Lesson learnt.
