Thanks, Peter.

We've seen some amazingly sharp images with AO, so yes, it is very tempting. I've always put it in the too-hard basket. I suppose what I would do physically is remove our off-axis guider, which uses up about 25 mm of the back-focus, and replace it with an off-axis guider. But the thing that worries me is how often we'd get a guide star that would give us 8 frames a second. Perhaps it's time to start talking to people who've used one on a similar scope to ours.

Any help welcome!

Best,
Mike
