AAah! good to hear that it's actually workable!

The MoonLite you have can be collimated - I see!
Are you saying you need a normal laser collimator like those used in newts collimation? IF yes, PM me your address and I'll send you mine and you return that to me after you're finished with it - it's supposed to be collimated already etc and I've used it a few times on my 12" dob but it hasn't been used for anything else now for the last 8 months!!

HTH

I have not had time lately to play with it.

But I get the feeling no flattener/reducer really works 100% with the 127ED triplet. Unless of course they (the OEM) release one.

I need to collimate my focuser and re-do the test. So I need a LASER to align it. Did anyone say...cash flow issue!
