Description

We all shoot it. It was time for the yearly revisit for me and to try out a new GT81WIFD scope. Definitely less tilt than the standard GT81 due to its internal focuser design. So much that I had to remove the tilt introduced from the old connection settings from the adjuster. And that's always fun in winter-like temperatures.

Backfocus was still a bit off after hours of tweaks, but this was the third night of adjustments and I refused to let my Andromeda equipment curse beat me for another year and go away empty handed.
