Description

I hope that I figured out the correct distance for OAG and cameras, need to test on DSO. All looks nice and solid.

P.S. Checked the scope tonight: stars are very bright and round, no visual signs of coma. Due to long focal length and narrow field of view, the scope requires more accurate polar alignment and star alignment, less forgiving than small APO (understandable). OAG is a tricky, looks I would need a spacer for guider camera, stars are out of focus in guider. Reducer is a MUST, for DSO f/10 is too dark.
