Finally first light for the ML

Finally managed a first light tonight for the Moonlite focuser on the 12".
Conditions a big foggy and transparency was poor at best but seeing was not bad.
Really only doing star test to make sure collimation is OK. Good news is that it all looked OK to my eyes.
The really good news is that this beautiful piece of kit handled all my eyepieces with ease, once I had adjusted the tension a little I could roll the fine adjustment with very light pressure from one finger, so the image no longer shakes around during focusing.
I am really happy with this, and it was not as expensive as I had thought, nice to have a strong $A, at least it was strong when I ordered it.
