Hi Ray

I just got one and am keen to test it out with my 10inch F4, are you able to explain your calculation and finding of CA (in simplistic terms If possible), is this due to the refractive element? How would it degrade resolution with round stars?
They say results are more evident at longer FL's but if you're able to guide at 7Hz, wouldn't that constitute an improvement even at f4 from usual 1Hz guiding?
I'll be using it with an RCC1 and stf8300m, mostly for narrowband.

Thanks
Alistair
