Hi Harry, firstly thank you for finding the time to review this new type of scope. Also kudos for taking this scope on in its early days. It's good to hear things are starting to work out and that you are pleased on the whole

Do you know if word has got back to Celestron about the sub optimal camera adaptors? It does seem a shame not make use of the very big image circle Maybe you could send them the blue prints for the adapter you had to have made hey Harry

I wonder if Celestron will produce smaller version ? 20kg is quite a weight!

p.s that M78 is promising, that's lots of dust for 2 hours!

Hi

I doubt anything I say would make it back to Celestron

I do not know of any RASA they have planned , I think they want to get this one going first

And I agree the M78 look good for 2 hrs and a OSC camera , I look forward to more imaging soon with this scope
