I have an Orion Steadystar AO unit to add in and I have just got the TS Optics adjusting device for the GSO RC's focuser.

This will allow me to eliminate the tilt that I have been fighting with (it's been making my pics a bit soft as the collimation was slightly out).
My hope is my RC10 pics in the new year will give the QHY10 a serious test.
Merry Christmas

Paul, Thanks for the Xmas message and the same to you. I hope that the mods work out. Ive been lucky as my collimation essentially shows no detectable tilt and Als collimation aid really helped me with the RC.

Rick, these scopes are really finicky for spot on collimation. Just hope you both sort it out and its interesting that the tilt aid is available. Be watching you with interest but Im beginning to really like this scope.
