Hey Jay,
I was going to ask about your collimation when i left it was still giving you greif. did you figure out what was chopping off the secondary mirror reflection?
If i remember correctly its a dmk31 that grahame has and i can attest to its very good resolution though possibly if it doesn't have the IR filter it will need one as this will further blur the image (IR doesn't focus where visual light does).
Happy days and keep on trooping!
Brendan
