Good advice Martin.
I tend to jump in the deep end. I had never seen a moto cross race but read about them in a dirt bike magazine ...so on the Tuesday I ordered a new MX bike, picked it up on the Thursday, ran it in on the Saturday and saw my first MX race on the Sunday and went in the race after that one
. Did not hang back either and got thru the first corner in fifth
..the first time I went sailing was on the Sunday in the boat I had bought on the previous Thursday.
The big problem with the RASA is the filter drawer is not close to the camera with a 20 mm spacer...I need to rearrange this ... it is bad enough having filters with the short F/L but having the filter set so far away will see issues....I should have sorted it out but after all the waiting for filters, sending back incorrect filter drawers, not being able to sortvout back focus with the bits in the box ....and more... I was happy when I got back focus (thanks to some work with an angle grinder) and finally get some sort of an image...I have worked out the thing most certainly has tilt (if not tilt I have a huge problem) and to get rid of the doughnuts in the bottom left corner I have to make the focus a bit soft elsewhere...
Anyways I will fix it but I suspect it may become just a OSC scope ...which would be good as I reckon I could bag 5 objects a night.
I am thinking of getting a Espirite 150 mm if I give up on the RASA...as you know I like six inch scopes
Anyways it is great to see your results I get real excited when I see you have a new post
Alex.
