Cent A

Hi everyone,

An entire week of stairing down my cats eye tools because of the weather, and my obsession with killing the coma in my system left me eager to get out last night when it was clear and the moon was hiding.

One thing I have noticed with my scope is that the collimation changes considerably when simply changing the RA. I think this may be due to me not locking the screws in, so im going to attempt that today but if it still changes I will have to look into reinforcement. Anyone who has suggestions as to how I can eliminate focuser flexture would be greatly appreciated.

Anyway here is my image, I still have some gradient issues showing as the varied cast across the background.
