FSQ's though are a bit of a bear to keep focused. A good mastery of FocusMax or a good temperature compensation would make life easier.
I wonder if those thermal blankets like AP uses on the Honders would help?
Which AP did you get that is being referred to? An AP130 GTX?

Indeed I fould trying to get focus manually with a STX16803 dangling off the back to be difficult. Hence reverted to adapting my FLI atlas to the Taka, which made focusing a piece of cake.
I’m lucky enough to have a few AP scopes, but yes, it was the arrival of the AP130 GTX with Quad reducer and field flattener that put the FSQ back in its box....which is not to say it won’t get used again, but I’m scratching my head wondering what it can reveal that hasn’t been done already.
