That's coming along nicely Chris.  The FSQ looks like an excellent Scope .

Oddly I have mixed feedlings about the scope, there is no doubt its built like a brick latrine with good colour correction and its fast, however the field illumination is really bad, but the stars are flat.  You cannot image with one of these without a set of flat libraries.

Tonight I'm going to use the Tec which does not have a flat field of view?  Expensive scopes eh!

Really nice Chris.
