Is yours the version with ion milling?
You have beautiful round stars from perfect guiding.
By the way - what did you measure as your average FWHM?

I use the AO-X too. On a good night I'll get about 1.5 - 2" but sometimes my star shapes aren't perfect. I currently have a slight elongation in the top left corner on some frames. I suspect my collimation needs to be tweaked. Purchasing Martin Pugh's old Paramount ME helped me a lot but it wasn't cheap. You can spend a lot of money in this business.

Thanks Marcus - I agree. Don't know what I was thinking before. I have these brain snaps sometimes. perhaps it's the heat.
