Maybe there could be just a very slight amount of image plane tilt? (left hand sharpness looks just a tad under that in the centre and right panes). If there is some, you can easily adjust it out with the camera.

Suggest that an add-on stepper drive for the very tidy looking focuser might be worthwhile - aluminium wanders about like nothing else when the temperature changes.
Cheers Ray :-)

I think you're right regarding the tilt. I hadn't noticed it, but now that I look more critically I can see it. This could be because of the dodgy focal extender I have in the mix. Hopefully once I have my OAG and flattener I can get rid of that.

I'll definitely be looking for a stepper when I have the funds. I've gone on another shopping spree though, buying this scope, a new OAG, upgraded counter-weight shaft for the EQ6 as well as a belt mod kit, so I've pretty much exhausted all spare funds I had, so it'll have to wait a few months I think.
