3rd Light? Yeah. 3rd light review

OK. So this evening I had another go with the coma corrector. This time I changed my approach. I lowered the truss poles only about an inch and kept the focuser draw tube all the way in. I used the eyepiece adapter to obtain focus like a helical focuser. I happy to report this worked exceedingly well. Once again the 30mm and 14mm were exquisite. Pinpoint flat fields to the edge. The 9mm improved a lot with this method as well.

I believe this may be the way it is supposed to be used. Might replace my focuser with a nice Moonlight arrangement next month with a lower profile. I may not have to lower my UTA at all then.
