Great DaveMcD will sort you out. Just dont pay any attention to him if he says he's just discovered a new minor planet:)

Yep just holler if you need any help. Yes from a dark sky that scope will literally blow you away.

Regards and Clear Skies,

Dave.

the top right corner of the star becomes flat


This could caused just by tube currents from the heat from the mirror traveling up the top of the tube. Specially after these warm days. Essential to let the assembly cool down fully.

Just a thought.

Let it cool down for an hour, and it has a fan. It still did the poor star test after 6 hours. Damn delivery guys.. :evil:
