Hi Craig: I wouldn't worry too much about the focus. There are many ways to achieve good focus (Hartman masks, 'Precise GOTO', FWHM plots, or just patient...
Hey Craig, From one rookie to another; not bad! 8>) Definitely keep track of your setting of everything so you know what works and what doesn't. I'm getting...
