Well everyone,
I went out and bought the 10" RC today and it has been on the G11 for balancing purposes and it balances very well with an ED80 and 5D mark II on it.
Had to buy a second 21lb weight though as one was not enough. Still this shouldn't worry the G11.
I think the build quality of the OTA is very good. The baffling looks to be very dark and I can see no reflection spots.
The focuser has a very little play but seems to lock tight.
One thing though is that there is no safety screw on the bottom of the mounting plate. I had a friend tap one in after I got home. Now I feel a lot safer.
I am soooooo happy.
Guess what? There is a giant storm going through as I speak. It is shaking the whole house.
I hope it passes over before dark and leaves some nice skies.
The 350D goes on first and see what we can find.
Frank
