Some more ha with my new toy

Still playing with collimation and AO with the 8" newt. AT the machine shop today for some new secondary holder but I did spend a lot of time this week shooting bright targets in Ha and got familiar with the AO.

I barlowed the scope so all shots are 10min subs at 2.4m FL. All nights this week were clear and dry. Seeing is really really bad and quite a lot of surface wind. And the moon is up so very good for testing stuff.

Making steady progress. Once I have collimation down pat and the wind dies down I should be ready for the new moon.
