Oh wow she is big !!!!

My new 10inch RC Open Truss sat on my EQ8-R

Did I say it was HUGE !!!   BRING ON THE GALAXIES

All set up ready to find focus points and check collimation tonight hopefully.

Has ASI Air Pro, EAF and an old WO66 as a guide scope.

Looks fantastic. Forecast looks promising for tonight 🤞🏻
Do you have a cover for the scope or set up each night?

Mount is permanently outside under a cover, scope get put on and off for each session.

Takes about 5 mins to mount and connect cables.

This is an impressive looking instrument, the images will no doubt be just as impressive!

Keep looking at the 10” CC version and yes does look a bit of a beast. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
