Hi Steve
Its not too bad..
Some testing has shown that it is diffraction limited, but occasionally I do get slight astigmatism issues which I still have to track down. I believe that its in the primary cell, but can't confirm this yet.
You'll definitely have to change the focuser to something like a Feathertouch, which can be a little expensive, but worth it in the end.
Overall its good value on a limited budget.

Thanks Colin. I'm hoping for a few good nights near New Moon to get the colour data...
