Description

First complete LRGB with FSQ + ML16200 + 10Micron GM1000 from DSW. Very happy with this combination. Added a Nightcrawler and I think this is a life-long system. So far the mount is the star of the show. It's feature-rich yet easy to use and fades to the background. RMS is typically 0.10 to 0.15. It is a guided system which issues a guide correction fewer than 1 time per minute under moderately good skies (seeing = 1.5 - 2.5). The camera is good and the scope is definitely tried and true.
