assembled imaging train as it would be attached to the back plate of the

This picture is the same but
shows the parts labeled. |

Although this has not been used as of yet, it is
extremely sturdy and well made. An excellent finish has also been applied. I
have made the measurements I needed to access back focus and with the assembled
imaging train of ST10XME/CFW8/Pyxis, the total back focus is at 5.65". The back
plate adapter for the RC adds an additional 1". I am waiting on my Tak FSQ-106
adapter and will update with those measurements when received. This addition
will allow my use of ACP to become more complete as the plans will read and
position the rotator according to the requested position angle recorded when
compiling the plan using ACP Planner courtesy of Bob Denny at DC3 Dreams.
As soon as the rest of the equipment arrives and the
weather allows, I will be doing a full scale testing and post the results here
as well. I can say from preliminary testing and others reports on this
equipment, I'm looking forward to enhanced imaging experiences! Thanks to Jim
McMillian for his excellent advice in the ACP Rotator help section of ACP. It,
along with Bob's excellent help files, certainly made this a painless process.
