Description

First night test on a new rig!! 

A very fast test just to see if how far off collimation is, focus the guide scope, and give the cem70 its first guiding test while also testing the EdgeHD 800. 

Lazy focus. No filters. No calibration frames. 15 x 180s, with high altitude clouds to boot! 

Guiding looked pretty good: 0.4" to 0.8" on both axes, depending on clouds passing through. The cem70 is a beautiful mount! And this scope is promising! 

Next up: install a Zwo EAF (already arrived), and start getting some proper calibration frames.
