This weekend I spent some time doing the rest of my setup and am really happy with the results. Thank you so much for the responses to the threads where I was having trouble. Once I switched back to my old chassis with the lenses and YA board from the new machine there have been no problems.

This time I made my own test pattern for doing the EM focus and got better results than I ever did before using the internal patterns. Theirs have the dots with two pixels and I made mine with single pixel dots which seemed to make it a lot easier. I focused on just getting the dots as small and round as possible where in the past I tried to get the scanlines as pronounced as possible - but think I always got more flare than I have now.

Just in case they help anyone else, you can grab them here:
1080_Dots_02
1080_Dots_03

The rest of the registration/convergence went fine and I tried shifting the image on the raster towards the lower right and that did help eliminate some slight ringing that I had always had. That was a tip I never knew about and am really happy with the result.

Last night I re-did my greyscale with HCFR and my eye one probe. I know its not perfect but its fairly close and I think it looks better now than it ever has before.

Great work! Did you make those patterns? and if so can you make me a special on for 2.4 aspect? it be 1920x800 size.
