Thanks, Mike! The gear does have its warts. We're finding we're getting sharper images if we refocus once per hour. It's not temperature, it's mechanical wobble in the focuser. I've scripted the refocus, so it's all automatic, and only uses up 2.5 minutes in the hour, but it is a teensy bit irritating.
