Hi Kev,
What an honor to be there for first light of your 16".
The heart of Omega Cent was simply stunning and the Homunculus looked great.

As with any mass produced scope there is room for improvement but you must be very pleased with the decision to go with the Bintel. Both the altitude and azimuth bearings were much smoother than I expected.

Kev also made up an excellent fitted light shroud, looked great.

The optics performed very nicely and your suggested mods will stiffen the whole structure significantly.

Congratulations
Trevor
