Description

I've tried to image with my new AT6RC scope three different nights and was unsuccessful in getting an image. Today I checked the collimation on the scope. The primary mirror was perfectly collimated. However the secondary mirror was way out of collimation. I collimated the secondary mirror of my AT6RC this morning. I wanted to use it to image with tonight to see if the collimation I did on the scope would improve my success in imaging with the scope. I'm happy to say that

there was a tremendous improvement after the collimation. I still have to work out some kinks

because this scope is a different animal than I've been accustomed to working with. With all of that said please enjoy my most recent image of NGC 5907 the Splinter Galaxy.
