Description

First light of the new setup - Skywatcher Esprit 100 and QHY268m. Very pleased with how hassle-free the transition has been. Everything except rotation is now remote-controlled, so no more nights freezing off my limbs.

Thanks again to Lacerta and Tommy Nawratil, outstanding service to have the scope essentially torn apart and re-optimized. Strehl of 0.97, what more can you ask for. 

It's a drastic change tho to switch from an F4 system to F5.5, but the refractor just..works. Pint-point stars across the field, even with this larger sensor. Such peace of mind.
