lunar practice run (kind of)

well i got sick of the screw on t-ring adapter i have had to use with my focuser since the 2" 'slide in' version wouldn't reach focus.

after moving the mirror as far as i could up the tube using the collimation screws this is the result with the focuser at the end of its in focus.
it still looks a touch soft on the moon and still no go on anything else.
looks like i have to stick with the screw on bits till i get a new focuser.

on another note, i guess this image shows just how wide the field is with the 400d at prime focus
