First night out

Last night was ok in Sydney as most of the smoke was out west, thanks to the easterly breeze we had all day. Not so today... it's all back on top of us.

Out of the box the scope was collimated pretty close. Everything is centered, flats show that the illumination is centered and uniform so I'm pretty happy with that.
I thought I had the spacing correct for the MPCC but it doesn't look like it at all so I'll have another go and tweak that to get rid of the field curvature.

But everything else looks good so far. One more tick in the win column.
