Well,Its a new RC12 from Bintel and a new shot with It but, certainly not a new object.
Hasn't been a totally problem free setup with main mirror movement,camera tilt(I hate tilt adjusting CCD's)and tweaking MX+ for the heavier load but I think It's starting to show some potential now.
No arse kicking required Louie, looks pretty good to me, if that's just a test image, it's got lot's'a potential for sure
I was shooting this (albeit with a sliiightly larger field of view ) this morning too...finished the run on the current project and had a couple 'a hours up my sleeve, there was a 1/2 moon up but it was high and...well, meah..what tha heck..a big Ha field on the way
Looking forward to some more shots with ya new rig.
That is some exceptional resolution Louie! Nicely done
Thanks Col....Yeah going from the 10" to the 12" was nice Col

Ah yeah, I've heard of that lubricant....should do the job
I was puzzled about the orientation though, something was just not right, I was sure God was left handed when he gave us that finger ... not on your image.
Then it dawned to me

You have an extra mirror in the setup! Will have to remember to do do an image flip at the end of the processing...

Thanks Peter....and that smidge is such a pain.....a man is measured by his smidge

Thanks Mike....the seeing has been unusually good the last few nights...of cause the clouds love the good seeing too.
I can't see any issues at all on this image Louie, looks good to me. The RC 12's rise to the occasion again. I look forward to your imaging with this scope.
