Description

This was actual first attempt with the new hyperstar on 8" Edge.  2 hrs of 30 sec unguided exposures.  No flats.  Bright center with no flats.  Did not use dew shield.  Mount was hypertuned but worm gear caused several frames of elongated stars.  Might try switching worm gears after research.  Impressed with how much the hyperstar lense gathers, but probably going to be a real challenge to collimate based on results of this one and all work since.
