New RH 200 Comes Together

I recently received RH200 from the latest production run. Slowly getting the parts together as seen here. Don't have the focus motor attachment yet, or the proper STL to focuser attachment but managed to do some test shots last evening which showed that the system was clearly out of collimation and will need some adjustment.

First impressions:

Pros:
- Very portable and unique optical design
- Fine focus possible with fingers!
- Excellent finish
- Easy access to collimation and image tilt adjustments

Cons:

- Cost, relative to an FSQ and other refractor solutions
- Lots of glass to keep dew free
- Shower cap dust cover slips off easily
- Special Vixen to D-series adapter needed for mounting
