That’s really nice!  

Did you find the OAG easy to set up and use?  

Had you previously noticed mirror flop as a problem when guiding with a second scope?

Really nice, very intricate detail.

Thx!

The OAG was easy to use. Maybe it is because i'm working at F5. Not sure about slower systems. It is the one from ZWO, it works out of the box with my cam.

With the guiding scope there was some flexure visible on the stars. The small pixels of the 1600MM with 1m FL gives not much tolerance.
