Thanks Greg.

While I'd had that AO unit for a while, this is the first time I've used to AO-8T on the Honders.

Despite the lack of good guide star candidates, AO guiding was dead easy at 3Hz. It will be very interesting to see how the system goes at 10Hz or better.

Attached is a picture of the imaging train.

Everything is bolt-on, and hence there is *very* little room for error when specifying custom adapter length for use with the FLI focuser.

I breathed a sigh of relief when focus came in at almost exactly 1/2 of the FLI's travel range.
