Description

First light with an Astro-Physics 130EDF GT

It's remarkable how easy the Mach 2 is
after acquiring all the parts:
Night 1 = assemble everything onto pier, power, balance, polar align
Night 2 = set up NINA, create ad-hoc dec arc model (thanks @Wade Hilmo for the great tutorial), 45x300sec osc data

unguided eccentricity around 0.34, fwhm around 2.4" (good for the average seeing conditions)
