Picked it up on Thursday afternoon but hadn't had a moment to even open a box until about 1pm today!
Had a little play with my brand new Sky Rover 130mm, QHY9 with QHYCFW2-M-US. Was having some serious pointing issues which cut my session down to not too long after I setup sadly. Need to find a new place in my back yard to setup after all of the rain we've had down here. Corner of the tripod sunk a tiny bit throwing everything out!

Just need one more piece of equipment and then I am all set, a bar to mount my guide scope onto. I had a plate that I discovered this evening is about half an inch too short

Although I didn't get a LOT achieved I managed to calculate that it runs at F/5.66 (736mm) with the 0.8x flattener reducer which should theoretically be within 0.5mm of optimal.
