Just curious....
Good to hear you got a new one so soon!

Bart: the new mirror is the same. I think it's due to the way the mirror blank is cast.

I'll let you know how it goes, Greg. I was going to compare guiding using the internal guide chip in my STL11K vs an external guide scope (which is what I'll ultimately need to use with my U16M when it finally comes back from the USA).
I picked up a nice lightweight, solid guide scope to use - a Borg 50mm achromat.
Cheers,
Rick.
