Not sure if it will fit in the Golf with all the other stuff Alan, it just fits in this tiny dome. Might try getting it up to 10 chain sometime to see if it fits.

Alistair, I swung it around the sky last night trying to get dome geometry setup and I had stars on the qhy at every stop, plus I forgot to up the gain on it before connecting. I was doing 2 sec subs last night. Get new drivers for it off their web site. The new drivers work fine, the ones on the cd do not.

This is looking awesome Robin. Go the Newt!
Didn't realise you could do away with dew control in the dome - interesting.

I've never had to run dew control in mine but it's all foam though. I even put the left overs in half the wall sections.

Here a quicky from last night while trying to get the geometry right. This is the LRGB straight from maxim. I just removed gradients.

Looks like 5xRGB and 15xLum all 60sec subs binned x1 full frame.

Looks like the corrector does what it says on the box then, which is a relief for all those $$$$
That's the Keller corrector?
