This are a few quick shots. I got the scope into the observatory today 8/6/2005. These are all 25x5 second shots f6.3 focal reducer. I promised that I would just do visual to night but couldn't resist to at least try a few shots. Minimal processing (obviously!) It is 2:20am EDT took these about an hour ago.
Didn't have a chance to do anything other than put the scope on the wedge and do a quicky polar alignment. Couldn't get past 7 seconds before tracking was off because of this. Will do a drift alignment next time out. Factory collimation.
I was impressed with this scope visually. I think that this is going to do a great job imaging when it is aligned and collimated.
