Description

The official first light of my new camera Altair Hypercam 26C.
Another first for this image of mine is the first time that I successfully used Autofocus with the Pegasus Focus Cube 2.

Durign the few times I used my recently aquired Askar FRA600 I noticed that its optics is much more precise than anything I've used so far.
So much so, that I got a new camera with smaller pixels (the 26C with its 3.7micron pixel instead of the 294C with its 4.6 micron pixel).
I also had to get this electronic focuser since, just a few degrees drop in the temperature causes this imaging train to noticably worsen its focus.

With this addition I think my updated rig is more or less complete (hopefully)
