Thanks Marco,

I am focussing using the Hartmann mask method. I think I'll try to find an old OM-1 body on eBay to build a knife edge focusser ...

I have seen your shots using the R200SS on your old site on Geocities ... very nice pictures! That is very encouraging for a new
user of the this scope!

Ciao,

Nice shots Philippe, really dense. I agree with John anyway, it seems that
even if your pics are dense are not as detailed as should be. Perhaps too
much smoothing routines? Exposure times seem to be right, how do you focus?
I had to use KEF focal devices to get a right focus at f/4...
