The scope arrived yesterday morning.
First light was this evening through sucker holes.
The focuser is superb. (Once I tightened all the grub screws on it.) I believe it would be capable of holding at least a couple of kilos of gear easily. I love how it has 3 locking screws. While I was imaging Jupiter, I had an extension tube, a 4x powermate and the dslr hanging off the end firmly with only the tiniest bit of slop between the extension tube and the powermate.
There is a small amount of CA, but nothing to write home about and easily fixed during processing.
I haven't taken a shot of a star field yet so can make no comment on the flatness of the field.
But oh boy, it's a monster compared to my little ED80. LOL
I can't wait to turn it onto a DSO.
I've posted images of Jupiter and the Moon that I took in the Solar System section.
