Hi,Meng Lee
Your pic fantastic and your skill really pro.You know the C11-at least mind--is difficult to focus due to mirror shift problem.As you increase the elevation of your scope,the mirror MAY shift and you are out of focus again.Its very troblesome and c11 dont have mirror lock.You have to focus again and again.How you skillfully overcome that?Thanks.

Hi,

yes the mirror shift is bad, so I had a Moonlight SCT focuser at the back to focus without mirror shift. Haha maybe I should buy a Tak CN212 instead.
