My primary mirror was slightly pinched , after re-adjusting the clamp tension and re-collimation the defocused star patterns are almost perfect and hold now, to my eyes anyway.
When I said I tightened the clamps the other night, it was't very much so I was surprised it had such an effect on the primary
Thanks for that.
I managed too see the cassini division last night for the 1st time using the 17mm stratus (88*) although seeing was far from optimal.
I really am liking the goto system, its making this hobby so much more enjoyable , I must admit I am bit impatient, and the goto helps here a lot.
I would love a wider field lower mag eyepiece but Ill have to be content with what I have for now.
My comment on the 32mm TV was not clear sorry.
I was meaning the 24mm stratus gives brighter views and similar if not slightly bigger field of view then my 32mm TV plossl making the TV obsolete.
I see the 35mm Pano in the classifieds. I am a bit reluctant with 35mm and over as the exit pupil concerns me as it will be over 7mm according to the teleview charts , something I'd like to test before shelling out for it.
I read the 31mm Nag is around 6.3mm exit pupil and the true field is around 1.6 deg
Cheers
