Hi All,
with my tests inbetween clouds, rain and winter type weather,
I put together this image of one of my favourite objects with what I had.
I now have a Paracorr corrector and have moved my primary mirror back in the newt to
accomodate the increase in FL.
With this, getting the right spacing and fine tuning the squaring of the CCD
to the optical train, plus dealing with distortion in the corners by my 1 1/4"
filters, it's been never a dull moment.
Thank goodness for CCDInspector! But this image doesn't really show my final
adjustments.
Have some new 2" filters coming in the next week, should finally get all
these issues sorted.
Also have just pulled down the mount to relube and adjust...
So it's been a very busy week for me on my 2 weeks holiday.

Here's a link to my home page with a link to the 1.4mb image if you'd like to
have a look.

Hope you're having as much fun as me

Thanks for looking

All the best
Rich
