Thanks everyone for your nice comments; I hope you enjoyed the results as much as I enjoyed the speedy set up compared to auto guided DSO imaging!

I actually found that the collimation was a little off when later viewing Acrux (DMK with x2.5 Powermate) and had to tweak the Bob’s knobs a little. I find the Bob’s knobs really tight and difficult to turn on the M180 compared to those on the C9.25.

I haven’t been game enough to play with them too much yet, as how the centre spot moves within the concentric circles of the out-of-focus diffraction rings is a little counter intuitive compared to the standard logic of the C9.25, unless it’s just my dull, aging brain!

Cheers

Dennis
