I think all is OK with my setup 8/11/2022

Post by rigel123 »

Just set up from scratch and retuned the main etalon followed by the DS unit. I must have spun one or both of the tuning wheels while tearing down, but so far so good. A couple of quick images while sitting here capturing frames for animations. Probably over cooked the full disk a bit since not the best lighting to work under!
