Finished collimating this morning using a 2"Howie Glatter with the circular holo attachment. And the eye-test done at 6657mm FL with a 40mm EP (x166) and a 25mm (x266) and the lined it up with some trees on a ridgeline about 10km away. Bleedin' terrific. This baby will be great with planets and planetaries. Matching a sensor to that FL is always going to be difficult. The planetaries will probably need an OIII filter too. Hmmm! Thoughts anyone?
Photos soon.
