I assume you will be able to get to focus with the STX FW?

I am so glad I am on the list for this (since 2009). I will not hesitate to sell my flourite FSQ106 when I get the email that mine is ready to ship.

Cant wait.

Great result Peter.

Thanks Martin....I think I may have trumped you by a decade on the RHA
(mine was swapped from May 1999 and for a different scope I suspect Roland will never deliver )

All I needed was a custom adapter (precise parts) for the STX/FWX combo. Works a treat.

The AP-RHA has simply no vices...and sublime 5 micron stars across the entire field...I'm glad to hear you are "on the list"

You guys are making Eta C the test target for new telescopes.


Ross.
Just sticking with "the program"

Sorry... my private joke...I knew Eta C was imaged often enough to call it a "standard candle" hence others could compare images they may already have captured as a benchmark
