Hell yeah! was looking at this brand but didnt know how good theyd be, well now i know XD did u use the thumb screws they supplied for the secondary or can u use the original screws? i dont want thumb screws for secondary as itd go out of collimation fairly easily id imagine
pallid moon
you can use the original pretty sure, I use the thumb screws though
I think I used the original screws when I first installed it

Does collimation slip easily? i hate collimating the secondary
pallid moon
It does a little bit, I carry the scope like 200 meters to my spot to setup and check collimation every time
so it might just get knocked out of collimation from me carrying it
worn sparrow
Ahh fair, i gotta carry it up and down stairs so definitely bobbing alot
Thats alright ill probably use the original screws. Thanks so much for the info! and very nice images!

Ive got a newt, same one as Rust, but it has a really bad spider vein, which is why i had to ask him lol

I use the 2047 focuser
one thing I find weird about the focuser is that the way it is connected to the tube
pallid moon
Nokk from the Meow discord told me that some people had problems with that Cyck focuser's built in rotator introducing tilt
long gust
are by these little screws on the side, and on the inner part they are drills, when you screw it tight, it literally drills multiple hole on the base, but it surely is dead tight and never moves
