First Light
Isn't it very exiting when testing a new device for the first time. This night I did my first test of the Nikon D800 and the Pentax 645 FA 300mm ED f/4 lens.
After some strugle I got an image, not very good because not all of the equipment is finished yet.
This is how it looks:

It look promissing to me. After this first test I had built a new motor focuser system, based on MyFocuserPro2. Almost exact the same design as my earlier one. It worked imediately after I power it up.
My biggest problem now is to get the ASI120 guide camera to work. This camera has some problem with Linux, I had it flashed with a new software, but still it doesn't work as it should.
