I suspect you'll find it hit and miss based on the conditions. Good stuff. Well done.
Jase we will certainly wait for very good conditions before trying full FL. We're not sure what exposure time we will be able to shoot until we do a few test runs. We will have to wait and see how our set up handles it.
We look forward to trying anyway

The 9.25 has a good reputation long focal length work so i look forward to seeing you give it a go, (as jase suggested) you will find the seeing critical at such long lengths though, still i feel you will rise to the challenge regardless.
cheers clive.
Thanks for the positive comments Clive

As mentioned above we will give full FL a try in the best seeing conditions and see how the setup handles things

Maybe we worded our sentence wrongly on the subject of flexure.

Perhaps we should have said now that we have improved our flexure rather than "now that we have our flexure problems sorted out"

Like you said Paul it's hard to pinpoint exactly what to do next to get flexure sorted out completely

Thanks for the comments Dennis. We are very happy with our setup now. We have improved as much as we can on the gear we have without going to any extreme expenses and we're happy with our image results so far
