I've had a couple of nights with the webcam - it's a lot of fun on the moon. It's also been good for developing my focus technique. I haven't had any success with recording star testing, I think that I'd need a better setup as Nick suggested.
After playing around with the cam it's always a pleasure to go back to visual - the moon has been stunning with my 35mm Panoptic. I've done some more star testing, and I think the scope needs some minor collimation. I'm expecting a new diagonal soon - just using the stock one at the moment. Is it a good idea to wait until the new diagonal is fitted before collimating?
Cheers
Stephen
