36mm filter carousel

I finally received a starlight filter plate that I ordered several months ago but it doesn't look right to me. I measure the holes at 27mm. Does anyone else have a 36mm filter plate in any wheel, does yours look like this?

I managed to get onto Terry Platt @ starlight and this wheel is a dud, it is a 1.25" wheel with screws. He's responding to the yahoo group on Xmas eve

Merry Xmas to all....

And knowing him like I do, I know he will be disappointed, livid, and doing his utmost to get you on the road.
Merry Xmas.

Got a new one in the mail today. That looks better

I also have another one coming from the UK if anyone wants one. I had my eggs in 2 baskets

Glad to hear you got yours, Robin. Still waiting for my 5 x 50mm replacement...

It all seems to take a very long time to me Rick, months and months, but what would ya do with the stuff anyway, use it as a coloured glass port hole in an ark

Robin, I'm hoping to practice down here in my underground lair so that when we finally do have clear skies I don't spend the whole night learning how to make the gear work. Still, the port hole suggestion is a good one

Yeah I guess so. I did some flat file analysis myself. Just a couple of percent down on this 36mm plate.

These are @ F6, but the F3.8 newt is so far out the image center is off in one corner

Robin
Curious about the analysis. What software did you use to do it?

ccdinspector by ccdware. It does flield curvature analysis, live collimation with a camera and quite a few other things.
