If I recall, the focusser was not concentric or something.
You must really be looking forward to this coming winter.
I hope you realize you have just guaranteed all of us in NSW/ACT of having the motherload of cloudy nights all winter.
Look forward to seeing more of your work.

Ouch on the Planewave. My CDK17 has been trouble free except for a bit of off axis bright star streaks that got corrected with some free baffles they sent me.
I am hoping the heavy rain the purchase induced has already subsided with that heavy rain about a week ago. But one can't be certain when AP telescopes have been purchased!
I should have a steady stream of images given the fast F3.8 and renewed interest a new scope often brings.
Greg.
