I still have a touch of coma but I really won't be able to tell for sure until I set up a real adapter from the SCT thread to the 2" eyepiece. I just used a make-shift adapter from the base of my 2" barlow but it does not thread correctly. I ordered the proper adapter yesterday. I am taking the scope to Puerto Rico on vacation in a couple of weeks and hope to have things set up before then. I am really pleased with it.

Hey Joe,
Didn't anyone ever tell you, you can't take pictures like this during the full Moon!
Hope to see you at the monthly meeting tomorrow.
