Thanks guys for the recommendations. Now, let's see.

Yes Astrozap shroud is a must. I found the contrast was much improved by using one.

Next Kendrick secondary dew heater. You will need to install it inside the secondary assembly. There is a thread I did here about doing that.

The flattener I have ben working with is not working too well for me and I am through buying adapters for it. However I get nearly 85% of the field corrected using it at present. So I am not prepared to recommend that one yet.

I think that reducer might actually vignette you have there Brett but it is worth trying.

I am using the MX but I have contemplated using my ME instead, but that means moving both scopes and I don't really want to do that at this stage. However, the MX seems to handle it ok. I am sure an EQ8 would be more than capable but I cannot tell you anything about them.

A very healthy level of patience is needed too. Be very careful with collimation. Feel free to PM me about any aspect of these scopes.
