Description

A semi-successful test of several new parts on the 16" SCT. The resulting image is decent, but I think some color fringes might be a collimation issue, and I had a problem with the target drifting from frame to frame even with steady autoguiding. The guide scope was definitely not lined up with the main scope, so my guess is that the frame was rotating around the guide star well outside this field of view.
