It certainly travelled well. Haven't done anything at all with the collimation yet, been too windy to have it out the last few nights but it doesn't look too bad & handled the tear down & reassembly without adjusting. I like using Ha with the moon, seems to present a clearer, crisper image. Will be connecting my 224MC or a DSLR later to check how bad the CA is, but most of my imaging is done in NB anyway. Over the next month or so Saturn & Jupiter will be climbing in the sky so will test it out on those with the 224MC & 3x barlow.
