Thanks guys!

High Gary, the mirror has a certified 1/8 wave, good for visual too, in fact can be an all rounder scope. Oh yes! Do joint us for the future "Mersing Zouk Out" , Elton's Bose sound system really KICK ASS! Like live concert! Lol.... [smilie=angel.gif]

according to Dipl. Ing. Keller, who designed the Keller reducer, a good Newtonian with the Keller reducer will outperform an APO in terms of flatness of field and tightness of stars (FWHM) to the edge.

unfortunately, said Keller reducer costs $1400. Way more than the Baader MPCC. It also is a 0.73X reducer, so converts an f/4 Newtonian to a jaw-dropping f/2.9

Cracking images, Kelvin. Well done!
That OO mirror and OTA were made only ~7 miles from my residence. Amazing to hear they made it to S'pore.

Go well!
