I purchased the kit about 6 months back now and good lord it makes one mighty difference to the outcome! at f4.7 the 10" now beams and as a direct result my FWHM (astro people should look at this ) went from 6-8 down to 2-3. Massive difference! I thought my old pictures where pretty damn clear... now they are pin point! Just have to get the mount and wind to co operate! Hopefully i can quantify the modifications that i have made by running my scope on a mates Ovision modified G11 with a Qhy9. It will be very interesting indeed!

One thing that is important though is to loose the tools when collimation as its a night mare to collimate other wise

http://www.brendanmitchell.net/Project%20254/Telescope/ is my upgrade to the 10" to overcome this.

Good luck Adam you have put yourself on the path to happier imaging!
