I received my new ioptron cem 40 mount yesterday from First light Optics. Excellent service and advice from them, thank you guys
I was lucky to try it out last night , first the ipolar, it worked a treat was polar aligned in less than 5 minutes, and it was a quick alignment as I did not get the crosshair in the middle of the circle. however I was 3.7 arc minutes within the pole. the clouds started to roll in a little, so I fired up PHD2 and tried guiding, the rms values were 0.07 RA and 0.28 DEC. im sure I can improve on that especially if I use guise assistant and get a better polar alignment.
first impressions are very good, . more to come later when I have had more chance under the stars.
