Not bad, but sorry no cigar...a galaxy would not have been my first choice...

but...you go after what *you* like, after all, it's your scope!

It took me about 6 months (of spotty efforts) to get the Honders, camera, CFW and AO lined up to within a few microns...in a perverse way, you'll find the optics are so good, they'll let you know often enough when something is off.

It really sings when you get the orthogonality of the focal plane sorted...particularly with a 16803 chip.

But isn't it great to have first light through such a special instrument!

Bon voyage!

P.S.

We still need to have a conversation about the weather
