Cheers Marc, yes I’m truly amazed how ‘Taksharp’ (sorry) the stars are and the resolution of the star cluster HR 6187 into several tiny but separate stars is impressive. So too is the detail of the “rocking horse” on the Ara wall itself.
Guess that’s why these Taks are up there with AP’s as the ‘Rolls Royce’ of refractors. This reducer spacing is indeed challenging though. Not much is forgiven with the large sensor on this nice new camera!

Since I hope to have a similar rig in the not so distant future (toa130 + qhy16200a), what is your process to get back spacing just right? I assume start with what you think it is based on manufactures specs and take a shot, analyze then add spacing rings and shoot again (rinse and repeat until right)?

David thanks
yes you are correct that’s been my method and although I’m using hand crafted variable spacers & locking rings to fine tune the cnr stars, it’s a time consuming process! I’ll get there eventually
