friend's new Apo , 2nd report

I have had the Honour to be asked to test a friends new ,, ( design and build ) 'Sky Rover' , 115mm f6.9 fluorite triplet , Ouch!
Some here know we did a peliminary test 3 weeks ago using my Takahashi 'SKY90' 90mm f5.5 fluorite doublet .
Not a test of aperture.
A test of 'Fluorite' .
This 115mm passed with flying colours , nice crystal.
The night was one of those very few perfect nights .

ff. 3 weeks .

. last night we tested the 115mm triplet for 'resolution' on the 1/4 moon against my 127mm f8 Istar doublet achromat.
So much fun , report coming but here is a photo .
Last nights seeing was 'fast moving atmosphere'.
