New setup

Hi people,

I have been absent from the astro imaging world for a while now, but recently decided I would make an investment into some larger gear to chase down some closer fields.

I ended up with a GSO 12" f4 truss scope from Paul Haese, and with the help from Bintel, I have it mounted on a CEM120 on a tripier 360.

Guiding with my lodestar and OAG I am really happy with the stability of the setup. Forgive the gradients, imaging luminance from my house is not the best idea, but I just wanted to shoot something to tune out tilt. Currently I am using an old MPCC MK2 and I am not 100% happy with its correction, so I have a GPU coming along with some adaptors to thread it to the focuser.

Should be a good setup when its all together.
