Well I wasn't ready but I jumped in anyway. Got Sirius (red end) and Spica with the L200 first light. I easily got the star onto the slit but didn't take enough care to ensure it was properly placed and I hadn't properly calibrated the micrometer nor did I twig to the spectal band I was imaging. But I was able to get data and able to calibrate the images....

Very good. Keeping the guiding on track is hard.
I'm currently trying to take spectra of T Pyx but having trouble with the puter.
