DP. What are you using to gauge the temperature of your mirror?
Well I tried it out last night and wow. I don't know if it was the fan cooling down the mirror fast or the fact that my mirror isn't pinched now or that I have just collimated the primary, but I was able to see Saturn at 480x clearly. No ripples or distortion. Had to turn the fan off while viewing as it was severely vibrating the image.
Oops.
For the first few minutes I kept wondering why the image kept going blurry. I thought maybe turbulent air pockets or something. I was looking through the EP and it would go blurry and then come clear again. Turns out I had some mozzie coils burning in front of the scope. Doh!
