I turned down further offers for assistance; with a camera-monitor set-up, I could do the fine-tuning myself. Borrowed Dietmar's special one-piece EOS t-ring 2" nose-piece; hijacked the USB-serial Prolific adapter from the GBO; procured Ian D's Canon 7D body and camera USB data cable. Connected to John Littlejohn and fired up EOS Utility. And, after a time, arrived at the best view ever! Sharp stars; excellent detail on Saturn. I was very happy.
11:13. Showed Steve Saturn after collimation. He liked the view. Justin popped by as well. He had never seen the inside of the THO.
Tightened up the corrector ring. No need to rotate the corrector!
