Woohoo -

Just entered my latest 4 sets of data and I end up with PV of 1/10.29 and a
strehl of .967

There is a lot of variability in my readings, but this is a lot more
promising than it looked earlier this week.

I will be taking a lot more data over the next couple of days to make sure,
but the end is in sight.

Question: How precise should I really be shooting for? This is a 12"
f4.5 intended mainly for deep sky imaging. While I have a perfectionist
side, I also want this to get done - and I know the closer I get, the more
likely I am to screw it up.

Also, anyone got a suggestion for a quick and dirty star test rig? My tube
assembly won't be reay for a couple of weeks.

Thanks for all the help.
