Well I think we are all impressed by your equipment!

A telescope that large is going to be subject to soooo many variables.

- seeing. If you don't have it, it will always be soft.
- thermal cool down time, I doubt if the mirror would ever reach temp during the night unless you are in an envronmentally controlled building matching nighttime temps.
- collimation
- tracking
- CCD Pixel Size. I might be looking for a camera with larger pixels.

But wow, you are off to a great start.

Is this located in the southern hemisphere?
