Putting my new fast coupler to the test

[Avdhoeven]

Last night I put my new pillar with the special designed quick coupler (made by Herman ten Haaf) to the test. I did a pole alignment last week using Sharpcap and took everything off and repositioned the mount 2 times this week. Both times I had a polar alignment within 1' (1 arcminute) without doing an alignment (checked with sharpcap). I'm very happy with this.

Last night this resulted in a guiding rms of less then 0,6" on both axes and so I could get very nice and small round stars.

This image is a first result of only 6x900s Ha (5nm astrodon) because of incoming clouds using my TMB92ss and QSI583ws. But it is already promising and a nice target for the coming time to get more data.
