Pete,
Do you have a GSO coma corrector in the kit? I bought one for the newt and it is longer, with more lenses, and a wider indent than the baader one. I thought the 3" would take 3 months to arrive but I've since been told, 2 weeks so this was money down the drain I guess. Once the 3" shows up I'll sling it up to you. It is made in taiwan not china.

It comes with a 2" nose adapter on top of it for eyepieces, but should also have an 48mm to 42mm adapter as shown on the GSO website. That adapter is missing and I'll chase that up with andrews. Every time I buy from andrews, something is missing or not right. Anyway, Backfocus is 65mm to 85mm from the final lens surface, so it's pretty relaxed. I have no idea how good it is yet, I still have no computers in the dome. It gives a 1.1x amplification/barlow effect from what I've read but it has 45mm clear path through the thing.
