Further testing (messing) with the quark and ED 80 .
An afternoon of frustration with clouds and blocking of light leaks.

Nice captures! On what part do you have light leaks? I taped my tilt adapter to avoid dust and light leaks.

Not only the tilt adaptor but an ill fitting extension and arround the focuser as well.
