Thanks Ray :-)
Forecast says it'll clear up this evening so hopefully I can get some more data. If the forecast is right over the next few days I should be able to finish it up completely.
The scope really is delivering; though you wouldn't guess it from the review thread, I'm really happy with it. By far the sharpest images I've ever gotten.
Moonlite should be here for the scope in the next couple of days; it'll be interesting to see whether I have to keep refocusing with that. If not, I think my shaft couplers are at the post office and I'll start work on building automated focusing.
The better news, equipment wise, is I've found out my recent issues with RA and major, major backlash (and hopefully the high-frequency noise I was seeing): the pulley on the RA worm had come loose. Ripped it apart again yesterday and fixed that up.Looking forward to seeing how it guides again now. The other night I did some PE analysis and found a really smooth curve, so hopefully with this fixed up PEC will make a huge difference.
