Awesome , I got lost up there, too many danged stars I didn't even know existed. Not a great night seeing wise but for all it's current limitations it worked amazingly well. Very hard to find things without a finder of some sort and the balance is close but not quite there so was difficult to hold position and switch up EP's. Found a few fuzzies that would be dim blurs in my 4.5" but were balls of bright jewels in the 10".
A Black plastic rubbish bag with the bottom cut out makes a great light shield btw. Bit of duct tape to keep it up and contrast can be restored easily. My red light idea is a failure, way too bright but we can fix that and I need that 2" Crayford and EP. A 25mm or 32 mm maybe. The 20 mm did well but Butterfly was bigger then the FOV.
I'll do a proper collimation with a Cheshire and shift the red laser finder over temporarily but a Telrad will have to join the fleet later.
Stunned, excellent, wow .... tired.
