Oh, I see that's why you mentioned it before. I thought you were referring to the original model which is only about 2 inches aperture.

Nice one. I'd like to hear a review. How much do they cost and where did you get it from - OPT?

I may have mentioned before, I am a huge fan of adaptive optics. If I can get a good guide star with my AO8 and most of the time I do.... I get better than paramount performance guiding with an eq6. I think they are the best value bits of kit that can be bought for an imaging system.

Images taken with AO units do seem to have that last bit of clarity that can really make an image. I know we tend
to concentrate on round stars but think of the blur that is being smeared on the object itself if the stars are elongated.
That's worse.
