Beautifully engineered, Pupak. It looks great.

On a better day you’ll have time to better optimise the setup, but it looks promising.

The weather forecast for the next few days is bad, so I wanted to quickly test at least the basic functions. Unfortunately, I didn't even have time to focus on how terrible the seeing was at that moment and then the sun disappeared behind the clouds.
Bad luck like thunder.
I also believe that once the collimation is properly set, the image will improve.

Shiny! Looking forward to seeing this develop as you get used to it.

That's a fantastic example of engineering, it will be interesting to see the results after fine tuning.

Great setup! love the engineering. What magnication powermate are you using?

You definitely need better seeing for it to shine.

I used TV 3x and TV 5x PWMT, or Quark (4.3x).

That’s big enough for nice resolution in good seeing.
