Tri-al imager single night bortle 6 images.

I got spoiled on my tri-scope rig, I kinda left my GSO RC10 Truss covered for now until galaxy season but I can't really go back to single scope imaging. I completed this build about couple of months ago. Before, I mix canon lens and refractor but now they are all Stellarvue 102mm refractor with focal length of 714mm. This is a symmetrical setup so balancing is easy. Currently, it weighs 46lbs riding on Celestron CGX (55lbs payload). I am on a bortle 6/7 sky and I use to wait like 3 full nights of clear skies just to get a descent image, not to mention I can only image 45 degrees up due to surrounding trees.

Some amazing shots there from one of the biggest setups I have seen, and there was me think of mounting 2 scopes, great work.
