Nice star roundness

Nice pic Mark, I did a little bit of pixel-peeping and quite impressed with the roundness of stars at the corners. Your collimation is exemplary. Hope my similar JB-adaptored CF-RC8 will also be capable of that level of fidelity. Doesn't seem to warrant any investment in a dedicated RC flattener.

Unfortunately, constant rain, cloudy nights and cloggy Darling Downs black soil are still inhibiting my star testing efforts. Almost two months!

In a fit of boredom, decided to go all-out and buy a ZWO OAG on IIS, plus IMX462 guide camera to help the RC8 + IMX533 pro do its galaxy work at 1630mm fl. Sort of getting rid of all the potential excuses for poor quality pictures...

Seems like your JB adaptor was a worthwhile investment, hopefully with a second opinion from me one day soon.

Cheers,
