I'd love to seem some test shots - simple star fields would be fine - to see the quality at the edge of that 1 degree FOV. A flat field would be interesting to see too.
Nice.

Next time I use it I'll be taking fresh flats as I just recollimated it.
I'll post something.

Good tip Fred. I'll check that out. I probably can go 30 minutes asis though. I haven't tried it yet.
