Eta test shot

Howdy.

Things have been moving slowly however; the obs is 95% there. Still some tidying up to do, cables, hubs, insulation under roof etc.

I am trying to get the spacing right to the flattener and I am unable to use the P-Flat 68II for my FLT 132 due to the short metal back distance(51.5mm) and the inability to get the guide camera to focus in the OAG when bunching it all up(not enough in focus on guide camera). I am trying to use my old TOA 35 flattener which is approx 117.5mm to metal back.

Can I get some feedback on this test image re the flattener distance via the stars in the image? Guiding is a bit how ya goin but that is down the track, baby steps is what I want right now.

Any other tips would be appreciated also.

I tried to upload a .FIT however; PBase converts it to JPG anyway, or so it seems.

Please, be honest and please, be nice about it.

Thanks.
