Yes but for reasons I could never fathom, I could not get it to hold collimation even passably. At f3.8 that was always going to be a problem but I could never get it right.

If I see a passable 10 inch dob I might grab it and modify it for mounting and imaging. I do miss the darned thing but it became the first casualty in the “too many scopes” discussions over the dinner table.
