Back from field testing.
All went well, no mistakes found.

Unfortunately the seeing was horrible for planetary imaging and I came home without any good data captures.

The seeing was nowhere near good enough for capturing data for a Roddier test so I had to rely on visual star testing and a Ronchi eyepiece to assess the optics. I detected a very small amount of spherical aberration that I will have to track down and correct.

Managed to see Sirius B at 400x and the attached images were captured through red and blue filters respectively. Each image is a stack of about 2000 unsorted frames, as Autostakkert was unable to sort them.
