Ronchi testing???

I think you should be able to verify the performance of both the fan/ main mirror/ secondary by checking the optical train with a 150 line ronchi screen. It should show any distortions in the seeing/optics. Just hold the screen close to the focus while aligned with a 3rd mag star. Blue tac works wonders.
