Description

a new CEM70G! a new William Optics 0.8 flattener/reducer! This image was purely for testing, but ended up to be interesting indeed. It was windy, tracking never got below 1". I think the 300 sec subs blew out the center cluster stars a bit. Minimal processing in this image.

The mount is far superior to my old cgem II. So far I love everything about it. I can polar align with the built in iPolar scope and Windows software. I can also polar align with my ASIAIR. The 2 do not match...testing to see which polar alignment method gives better results.

First light with the WO flattener reducer is so promising!
