Thanks guys! But it's early days yet....No flats were applied. The seeing wasn't great. The weather looks promising today...perhaps more data tonight...

I have to say with the filter wheel attached it's a big beast. You'd really need a very solid mount and focuser to make one of these work. The 10:1 adjustment in the AP feathertouch focuser simply didn't work in lifting the camera. (downhill it was fine).

There was no significant vignetting from the AP2.7" coupling, but given the mass of the system a 4" focuser certainly doesn't hurt.
