New toy: a Ceravolo 300 Astrograph. Seen here on my Astro-Physics AP900 with an extra long counterweight shaft and 82 lbs of counterweights. The mount doesn't break a sweat, but I certainly did when I lifted the scope onto it. The guide scope is a 50mm Borg and the camera is an Apogee U16M. First light images are promising but it looks like I need to sort out some tilt before the corners of that big chip will be up to snuff.
