Description

Hard to believe I have this scope working. I purchased it used from a nice neighbor who had to pay for a new mount...

I am still having trouble getting the focus as the microfocuser just does not work. Maybe the STT 8300M is too heavy for it. In any case, I wanted to see if the filed appeared to be flat (I think it does). Goodby Celestron focal reducer.

Other problem include the guiding, which I had to change the OAG settings for the STT-8300M, but it took.

The plate solving did not work, hence this image is off, but the image was overexposed... so I have to cut down from the 20s I was using with the Celestron.

This too no time to take at f2.8 .
