Hopefully the weather gods are nice to me and I can do some test runs over the next couple of weeks while the moon is up to try to get familiar with it. I ran the autofocus routine a number of times and found it to be landing within a handful of steps of the same place each time, with a small amount of drift that I put down to the tube cooling off. When I checked it with a Baht mask you would need to be pretty fussy to worry about it.

Mosaic framing is another thing, I seem to be gravitating toward doing things that will require mosaics. I saw an image on Facebook this morning taken with a DSLR and couldn't help myself but to check in Sky Safari and ended up thinking "Four panels would cover that nicely with the ED72"

Pic of where the automated focus landed, checked with the mask.
