First light of new setup: 150mm f/5 achromat + Quark

Hi all, This is my first attempt at shooting with Quark chromo that I have received for the replacement of defective one. The new Quark is much better but I still had to cut off uneven parts.

Re: 135mm D-ERF to C14

Hi Michael,
I think you should design a sturdy cap on the SCT lens with 135mm off-axis hole and then the cylindrical adapter that allows you to install your D-ERF aluminium cell on this hole. The outer diameter of adapter must be equal to the diameter of TEC lens cell.
