Having much fun getting to grips with a new to me FSQ106N.
I added an MEF4 focuser just to help things along and even though it's destined for imaging, it gives great views with, god forbid, an eyepiece attached.
The Finder scope on this thing is awesome..
With the stock focuser it's been very solid with an STL6303 and CFW on the back of it, no apparent flexure so far. It's been a real pleasure doing some NB imaging from Sydney and self guiding behind the filters with 20 seconds guiding subs. I did try shorter binned guiding subs but Maxim DL thinks they are hot pixels so giving star fade errors but unbinned and with a well polar aligned mount at this focal length longer subs work well.
Looking forward to trying this at a dark site.
Still can't find the happy as a Pig in &h@" smilie though!
