Description

First light from the super tiny CEM40 + AT60ED + ASI071MC Pro setup. The field of view was wide enough that I was able to fit both these targets into a 2 panel mosaic. No light pollution filter was used, and I did not need to apply any background correction to these frames. The APO doublet refractor produces some very nice stars... this region is filled with bright stars, so it was perfect for the test.

I was surprised to observe a 11+ second DEC backlash on the brand new CEM40, but luckily it was easy to correct by tensioning the belts. Now the backlash is down to a more manageable 500ms.
