Thank you guys for the comments.
Peter only time will tell whether it was a good decision to change. But at this stage it does a pretty good job in average seeing. Collimation will have to be worked on a lot to get it where I like it.
Rochler I am more than happy to help, whatever information I can give you and tutoring. We should make some time over the break to get together for an imaging session. I am sure Peter would be in on that.
Bird, judging the angle on that graph, using an extension on the 2.5 will actually make the image smaller. It seems like an extension will not work for it. Am I reading this right? I have even noted that putting the powermate before a diag has the same effect. Maybe if I put the diag in first?? What do you think? I know Chris Go uses both an extension and a diag to get his image scale. Do I need to buy a 4x powermate?
Houghy the new setup works really well, guiding is good, very little error in PE. But will need to do this over the break. Something that I really hate doing. In regard to getting the most out of my setup, I think I can do a lot more yet. Need to learn way more than I know now. A lot of the mathematics is lost on me. Just too lazy to go back and learn. I wll need to though, so that I can make an informed decision for my next camera.
Anyway thanks all. Saturn is next on the agenda and I want to iron out the bugs before I start in vain. I want to make a quantum leap with my imaging in this next year.
