These are the first images of any sort taken from my recently finished observatory.  Not ideal conditions - I was setting up all the electrics and was checking that everything is working as it should.  As such, these ended up being taken at around 13:30 hours as bits and pieces of clouds scudded across the sky.  It is my ZWO 120 (with 0.5 reducer) attached to a Quark through my ED80.  

The Newton's rings that I get are horrific.  I had some success with flats this time (I think), but I wonder if I need to find a better solution.

This is my first go at producing one of these "inverted" images.....

Nice images, looks like the Sun is going to appear just too late again here.

Congratulations on first light / daylight ?

Thank you.  Actually I got some nice visual work in last night after I managed to get the mount polar aligned.  I used AlignMaster which seems quite a handy program to use.

These images seem a bit more in focus - probably a transient period of better seeing.

Good results. Maybe you need to look at a tilt adaptor to cure the NRs.
