Hard one.. Very similar except a bit more stuffing around to correct the image but no diamond shaped stars to contend with and now a much better focuser.

Few more bits and pieces and then I'll be able to 1st light my RC8 soon too....I got a Astrotech 2" flattener for it, hope it works out ok

So the stock focuser is definitely no go? I'll be loading it up with qhy9+filterwheel+flattener and may be OAG.....
Worth a try but not holding my breath on the stock focuser.

There are heaps of targets to grab now. Looking forward to some nice images. I do not that your image scale is a little different to mine. Mind you the 40D image I have has a different size sensor. I might have to do another Eta in the near future.
Thanks again Paul, I think you deserve a free scope for all the advertising and feedback you gave GSO. Well done.

To all the others who commented, Thanks, I think this scope shows quite a bit of potential and will suit the image scale I was looking for.
