Thanks, Greg. I think you're right. We switched to f/4.9 when we had some collimation issues and the guys didn't have time to go back to f/9 before they had to leave. I can't decide if it's a good or a bad thing. I do love the bigger FOV but for galaxies you can't beat focal length (esp when you get seeing better than 1 arc sec.)

Thanks very much, Rolf!
