Update early Saturday morning 12.27 3.10.15

It worked - I'm thrilled.
I found a good focus point with the RCC1 just sticking into the inside
of the carbon fiber tube.
I checked all LRGB & Ha - it worked including the OAG for guiding.
I actually did a 5 minute shot with Ha &
the guiding was good - +/- 0.5 divisions.
The seeing was only about 5.5 arc seconds & the clouds came over.

I now have all the information I need to mount this ONTC mirror -
http://www.teleskop-express.de/shop/...st-Report.html
with the correct spacer - once I measure everything.

I attach a picture of a 120 second binned 1x1 exposure of Luminance.
It was taken somewhere near the star Archernar.
There are no darks or flats or bias frames - just stretched.

cheers
Allan
