Description

Had so much trouble shooting this... was the first target when I got my AT130EDT and was loosing subs like crazy till I figured out that focuser on ST80 wasn't locked down (flexure) and the focuser on the AT130 also had a bit of flexure (locked that down as well). First night wind gusting to 30 to didn't help either... so after a month finally got a good result I think : )
