Description

I took advantage of the terrible weather we've been having in the USA and completely cleaned and regreased the RA drive of my CEM60. I also used the REEGO system to collimate my 8" RC, and then finished up on one clear night with a star collimation. The night was so clear and clean that I had to do a run on an easily accessible target. Plus, I really wanted to see if my tracking had improved at all.

Well, the tracking is about 3x better (judging by the RMS in PHD2)!!! Next, I'll throw in the sulfur and oxygen...
