Description

well, there's first light for the G11 + AT6RC.

13x600s (2h10m) @ ISO400, CLS filter. 100% of subs were good. rock solid mount.

uncorrected PE is 16-20 arcsec pk-pk depending on balance, which i guess is typical for an untuned G11 without the one-piece worm block. pixel-peeping here will reveal oval stars, with elongation in the RA direction. i think this is probably due to a combination of a 10:1 guider/imaging scale plus differential flexure - my guide scope is mounted to the finder bracket which is not a very solid connection.
