Hello Rickie Bickie
How's a hanging dude?
I'm still trying to get a large SX for you but Mike Hattey is very stubborn
yes patience is a virtue for sure.
Regards the collimation Chris Willington and Wolfgang Promper have shown it can be done (quite easily) with the CATSEYE tools and provide pin point (and I mean sharp!) stars from corner to corner of even the 16803 chip!
One of the things I was happy about was that in my first light imaging session with the N12 using a short home made foam dew cap no dew formed on the secondary or primary mirror during an all-nighter and it was a very dewy night. This was something I had concerns about but initial signs are good.
