First Light with the Televue 127

Hi all,
I finally got out to do a trial run with the new Televue 127is and G11. The G11 is a great step forward for me. Very smooth mechanically and easy to polar align. Nice smooth sine wave PE (+- 9 before PEC) to guide out. The Gemini system is a bit esoteric but I think I have mastered most of it.

Its also much easier to setup and tear down. I miss the Moonlite focuser with stepper on the LX200 but the 1:10 rack and pinion isn't too bad

After much jigging around I got some subs of Omega to test it out. Some egginess evident but I am a very happy camper so far
