The Orion flattener seems to be doing the job at the default (55mm) spacing.

Pretty happy with the stars. I was getting pacman shaped stars with the original focuser however this seems to have cleared up now.

Thanks Troy. Got flats done last night for all filters.

Greg.

Cheers Greg - really happy with how it has worked out. So much easier to guide than the 10" newt.

Cheers John - it has been a few years in the making!

Thanks David - I've been able to run 10min subs with this setup so much easier to get some clean data.
