RC8 1st light

[martin_h]

Well, sort of first light-ish, Had a couple of hours of clear sky last night so managed to get the guiding sort of going and the auto focus doing its thing, so the upshot was 45 mis of imaging before the clouds rolled in. 3 x 15 mins bin 2x2. still not sure about binning the subs but at native I'm imaging at 0.96 pixel scale so probably pushing my luck.

No flats as yet hence the smudge, but it looks to be fairly well collimated (but what do I know!)

Great shot lovely detail  stars look bang on to me so collimation must be good.
