With the optics clean, the pictures are cleaner. The diffusion from the dust did no favours to the black background. That felt lining probably helped a lot, too, absorbing any oblique light entering the tube. Good job.
I'm trying to get rid of some triangular stars in the near future. Culmination alone got me about 3/4 of the way there. Adjusting the secondary mirrors in the corrector plate or at least checking the dimensions first sounds good. I'll probably use the depth stop on my caliper. That should get me to 1/10 mm. Thanks for the video - it was finally a helpful one
you might want to look into talking to gaston at his company innovationforesight and see if he can train up an AI model for your OTA so you can use his skywave collimation tool
Towards the end looks like the marks on the green tape are off, I would not think there is that much play in the ring holes? But the camera angle was not straight on. Thanks, just might do the same to my SN8 as I have flocking paper...Also I think you are seeing Coma as I have a Coma Corrector but have not used it for imaging..Just an idea.
I'm pretty sure it was the camera angle, I had it lined up pretty exact. Check out one of my latest videos where I review a cheap chinese coma corrector.
@@whyf16uy Cool just watched it! Thanks... I got the Sky Watcher Coma corrector, from what I read 1 of the better correctors out there. The TeleView is the best but too costly, but the 1 you got was a nice improvement for the $... Maybe add a tilt control to your focuser?
Love the longer format. Just entering the Newtonian imaging space now. And really enjoy the DIY stuff.
Cool. Got more coming up. Going to build my own mount.

Great stuff there's certainly an improvement & nice image of the wizard to.
Thanks buddy

I have not heard of this. I'll check it out.
Nice video and very good information. Thank you.

looks like you have tilt or your image circle isn't shining down center down the focuser , can you adjust the hieght of the secondary
I think it appears that way on video because of the angle of the camera. In person it looks correct.
