Very nice shot of one of my favorite objects Steven.

What modifications have you made to your C-11? I gave up on my C-11 years ago due to the mirror flop issue. I've been keeping it around with the intent to try and build some sort of a mirror cradle and then just use a secondarty Crayford-type focuser.

BTW, I recently posted a shot of this same object but at a somewhat shorter focal length:
