Allan,

Thanks, mate. Yeah, I'm very happy with the stars. I was trying to do a PEC run with PEMPro and was wondering why the graph was doing all sorts of weird things. Turns out I forgot to rebalance the scope in declination after attaching the Extender-Q. D'oh! After that, stars were perfect.

Looking forward to adding more luminance (and, colour)!

Mike,

Definitely. But, very happy now. I think the Extender-Q might just make itself a permanent fixture after this autumn/winter as my object of choice for the season will require a wider field.

Cen A is looking promising

Greg,

Thanks! Yep, can't say I can fault the scope at all. It's magic.

Ah yes the out of focus by this much problem! I have experienced that with an FSQ.

Greg.
