Overall though I am more pleased with how things are now and I can deal with some errant star shapes. The image of 47 Tuc has nothing doing to the star shapes. There is some guide error and flex/tilt.
Dave and Lee, you'll be interested to hear that I have ordered a Moonlite Nightcrawler (heavy) for the RC. I'll let everyone know how that goes. I am hoping it will be the ticket to replace the Atlas. |
Looking forward to your Nitecrawler report Paul. Hopefully I will have my light version in a week or so.
I agree with your secondary/spider assessment. The components are rather underdone. I rather like the Hercules scope secondary implementation
