Description

First test image of new scope. I was hoping to go to 300/f4 but in the end optedto just go for a reduction of focal length due to various practical issues. Have not managed to quite get the collimation perfect yet, f/4 seems much more sensitive that f/4.8 but will hopefully get it it right soon - not easy at the moment with very little darkness. The Quatro came with secondary mirror painted dark already but have had to fully disassemble + flock and re-collimate. Very slight walking noise as I think my mount has lost polar alignment a bit.  Hope to add some OIII should skies allow.

Description: Added some OIII although not really enough to make it much of a bi-colour image as conditions were not good.
