Well its out there cooling down, & not a breathe of wind. Seeing looks about 6-7/10. Lined up the finder on Saturn at 313X And first ligh impressions are: Collimation is ok, but some tweaking will be needed. A definite cool down period will be needed....saturn is shimmering in the EP nicely.
It rides the EQ 5 like it was made for it Geoff! Dampening time 3-4 seconds @ 313X, but its to do with the flex in the dovetail bar rather than the mount. It's a ***** to balance the scope out on the DEC axis, is my only complaint (so far). Hard to get to the dovetail locking screws, hold the OTA steady & move the OTA up or down depending on which way it's out. I'll get the hang of it I guess.
