Last night after rain the clouds cleared at about midnight. I have fitted new rings to the RH200. Managed to align the camera close to ideal.
Collected two images.

The remaining flexure I had is now gone due to the new rings. I can now do far longer exposures. Will try for one hour exposures on something very dim.
