Very nice.

Those ultra narrowband Astrodons doing a great job. I really like the colours 🙂

Stunning! I was thinking of doing this target as my season starter but need to be quick as it hides its self behind trees!

That's some setup! Do you ever get alignment or flexure issues?

Alignment and rotation only on first setup and/or change of camera. Zero flexture on OAG, with over 1000 images I took it has zero flextures. Only if my mount is acting once in a while but all 3 will be discarded

This was the main reason for me on my previous place when I built this, most object I only have 2-3hrs window and it is a waste of clear night.
