Lagoon with 10" LX200R

Tonight was more for testing purposes..checking collimation..focusing basicly all the new gear...I was extremely annoyed when I put the 6.3FR on to see images that were quickly sent to the recycle bin..the vignetting was just horrible.

Anyway I took the FR off and imaged at F10..which I dont like...it's way too slow.

12 x 3 minute guided images at ISO 800 focal length 2500mm.
No flats as I dont plan to image at this FL for long....darks and bias frames applied.

I also used the hutech LPR filter

Very little processing

More then happy with how the mount performed over anything.
