First Light LXD75 SN10

Next on my journey to try all the things is an LXD75 SN10. What a beastie. It definitely has a fairly steep learning curve. Evidently the collimation has a little way to go yet. Dew is a massive, um, consideration. I don't have a shield yet but if I run the dew heater at 100% from the start of the night it seems to keep up. I tried without a coma corrector just to see and one is definitely needed. I've had to break with tradition this time as Carina was too low by the time I got it together. I started guiding with the OAG but went to the 240mm and Sedna-m when Martin reminded us the ratio is about pixel scale not focal length.

about 4hrs total
LXD75 SN10 + G11 + NINA
