Cheers Mike, I have plenty of pics but have been too busy tinkering in the last couple of days to post them anywhere. It looks to be clear again tonight here
Once the rain sets in I'll post a thorough update

The new Royce mirror seems superb. With the old 10" my FWHM was usually 2.5-3.5" and only once have I seen it below 2" in the two years I've been measuring...
Last night was first light with the new scope: In average seeing between clouds I got consistently 1.5-2" and lowest I saw was 1.37". That was just insane.

Anyway, I don't want to hijack your thread!
