The focus seemed to be off at any distance. using the stock lens (18mm-55m) I tried to focus on some text on a book which didn't seem to ever get into sharp focus.

It's outside running on my ED72 taking some shots of the flame and horsehead nebula.

I did a quick test exposure on M42, which blew me away as to how much more detail I can get in one 60sec sub after the mod.

I reckon one 60sec "Modded" sub is worth at least 10 Unmodded subs.

The camera seems to be fine whilst focusing at the telescope. (I don't yet have a bahtinov mask but use liveview) so that's the main thing. I'm only imaging at 357mm FL anyway, so that's still a pretty wide field even if my dslr lenses aren't usable.
