OMG...it has been a while since there was a patch of clear sky over the Shire,
but I managed to get the new configuration up an running for it's first image last night....between thunderstorms...
Teething problems like a dead 12Vdc power-pack, finding where
I stashed my long serial cables, re-discovering how to get the CFW to connect in "stand-alone" mode via a RS232 port wasted a good deal of imaging time.
First light image is here
I forgot how good the AstroDon's were....zippo halos, even Alnitak is totally halo free. I suspect this system will produce some excellent imagery.
Well, that's the end of the News. Now for the weather....
