SN10 Test on Carina

[avandonk]

I was testing the fridge and a heater to slightly warm the focuser and filter box so there would be no condensation. The fridge was on all day yesterday with heater on focuser. I woke up at 0300HR this morning to clear skies and did some test exposures before twilight started.

Canon 5DH, Meade SN10, Paracorr PLU-1106, Hutech LPR filter.

This image is from 3x2 min exposures at 800 ISO with the fridge at -7.0C. I need to shorten? the Paracorr to sensor distance to fine tune correction but otherwise it all looks good so far.

Not bad for 6min exposure! Bert.
Is the Paracorr overcorrecting the small amount of coma the SN10 has??
Had to fiddle around with the MPCC with my scope as it was undercorrecting. Almost have it spot on now. Had to move it away by nearly 3mm.
