Can you see him? The Smoking man form the X-Files!

Feeling relieved that I've finally got the Tak 130 & 6162 camera just about aligned 100% after dealing with a nightmare of tilt & eccentricity errors in manufacturing.
Pixel peepers will notice a tiny bit of distortion on the stars at the very bottom right of the frame in the
HIGH RES version- man these full frame camera sensors are demanding!
The big Feathertouch focuser is very nice, but sadly this one was out of square on almost every surface by up to 100 microns in all different directions.
Anyway, it's all re-machined now thanks to ASV member Stefan Buda with his precise lathe work, to within 10 microns and the difference is huge!
