Are there pictures anywhere of what you have done to the OTA?
Not yet - I'll post some on my site soon. All I've done so far is:
- one strip of aluminum inside the OTA under the focuser
- a few tiny grub screws in the focuser tube to hold the coma corrector in position (I had to remove the compression ring becaase it was too small)
- dew heater on the secondary
- I **think** I put stronger springs in the primary cell? My memory isn't what it used to be...
- robo focus (after that picture was taken)

All in all not too many changes. Now I just need to spend more time on it. For example, last night I finally got Focusmax and all that v-curve stuff working properly after lots of mucking around.

The more I look closely at that image, the happier I am with it.
