Hi Adam,
What a pity,
those photos would have been good to compare your mechanical setup
to see what was really happening.
We live and learn - don't ever use photobucket.

I believe that more expensive RC designs don't put any stress from the focuser
or camera on to the primary mirror.

I am surprised at the marvelous pictures from Paul Haese with his RC12
which is without any serious mechanical modifications,
but then again GSO may have made changes to their design over the years.
From the article I linked in this thread that guy called Doug, was having considerable trouble
but was smart enough to get it all going nicely with some mods.

cheers
Allan
