I doubt you would regret it Martin

Collimation is no trickier than a normal Newt, except for the secondary rotation. Because of the corrector you need to remove the focusser and alter it through the aperture, IF it needs doing, and its a one off really.

I have a very heavy camera setup on the one I am using, with 8 filter filterwheel, H9 or QHY8, OAG, hotech SCA. There is a little bit of slop on the camera which does put collimation out a tiny bit, but at f5.3 its enough to show as oval stars. This doesnt have the newer style focusser on though.

I do love the scope, it ticks virtually all the boxes IMO, except very widefield, regarding vignetting it is very obvious in the extreme corners and quite sharp and I am using 2" filters, later I will post a flat.

I'm picking one up from FordPrefect on Saturday. Has the old focuser. Will see how I go with this for a while and probably connect it to a Lakeside motorised focuser. If it's not up the job I will change it.

What camera gives you the vignetting Pete?
