Thanks Dave, Steve and Mike,
Much appreciated
Yep pretty happy with the bigger scope , still some spacing issues with my CC to sort out. This 8” carbon fibre newt only weighed 1.5kg heavier than my old 6” metal tube newt which does help. Light weight , strong and no flexure
Guiding has been brilliant with just over 2 runs , 0.45 to 0.60 total , spent time on balancing too.
So far so good and nice looking rig too
Mike, I applied SV Decon at default values which tightened up everything, could have backed off a bit , but I’m tragic for tight stars , always have been , don’t like soft stars (sorry if I offended the refractor folk )
Cheers
Martin
