My Ultra Cat 108 showed up yesterday while I was on vacation in Mykonos Greece. Its a good thing my FedEx driver knows me pretty well and put it in a safe spot. I have to say it is a nice looking scope. I have it mounted on a HAE69CEC. Might get that New Pier but we shall see. I am kinda bummed ZWO came out with the new EAF Pro, because I just bought another old EAF, 2 months ago just for this scope.

 

I was kinda bummed that there are scuff marks on the internal baffles, and there is a tiny amount of dust on the internal lenses. Nothing that flats wont fix in a jiffy. The M48 ( M54, M68 ) Rear Dust Cap on mine is bound. Im going to have to think of a way to get it off. 

 

Tomorrow ill put the image train together and see how it goes as performance is everything. Testing will commence as soon as I get clear/NO Chance of rain for a few days, which in SC this time of year, might take a while lol.

Congratulations mate, that's a beautiful setup. I'm waiting on additional parts to get mine fully setup (two weeks'ish or so). I look forward to your test results, specifically the tilt result. 

 

I wonder though, is there any possibility that the scuff marks could cause stray reflections (perhaps even if so, would it even matter)?
