Since there is no manual, I need to find out from Kevin where the adjustments are made; as these may likely become orphans, I'd like to know the ins and outs.




I do know that Kevin said the 100mm Miyauchis are difficult to collimate - I would certainly be very cautious before fiddling with the collimation - I suspect Kevin has quite a bit of experience doing this. The good news is that my Miyauchi's have shown no indication of the collimation changing and in fact when Kevin returned them, they took such a whack in shipping that the accessory separator in the box got knocked off the side of the box.

But I agree it would be good to get the collimation process documented - I wonder if at some point we could get a video of him exposing the adjustment screws and talking about the process - that would indeed be very helpful!

My MRF and "custom" bracket work like a champ; I don't really mind that I missed the optical finder.

Yes, I use a GLP almost exclusively with my S3's - I only use the finder when I'm at a Star Party or other place where I can't use the GLP. I find the GLP works especially well near the Zenith - a straight-through finder is not that convenient at that point!
