Description

Second test target w/ new setup. weather has not cooperated. Gathered the bulk of the data last night. The radiant heater in my control cubicle off the scope area of my Dome could only get to 52° by the time I shut dow. Stopped te session as the target was starting to be pretty low, and with marginal seeing giding was struggling more than I like. This is ~60-65% crop of full image due to vignetting from the AP CCDT67...not the fault of the reducer, just mismatched to my FLI Microline 16200. That's a choice I will live with until I replace the scope.
