First Light with new setup (80ED/Redcat 51)

[mightymonoped]

Managed to grab 1.5 hours of testing time last night with the new dual scope setup (80ED/Redcat 51).

 

Focus was rough and ready manually but that can be addressed easily. Overall, I'm really pleased with how painless the whole process was, everything worked essentially.

still some tuning to do on focus and guiding but it wasn't a nightmare, just had to address the things I expected.
