NGC2070 in Narrow Band with SN10

Just a quick test to see how the SN10 performs before I fit the fridge to it. Drift aligned using the SN10 and aligned the guidescope optical axis to the SN10 optical axis. This minimises rotation and drift when autoguiding. The Paracorr PLU-1106 actually has a slight 'barlow' effect x1.15 so you dont have to go in to get focus. The Meade SN10 is now 1150mm FL and f/4.6. As you can see the field is well corrected for 'coma'. The EQ6 is coping with the load quite well. There was no wind.
