Tonight I got to attach my new QHY8 to my new Takahashi FS-102 for the first time. It's taken forever to organise adapters, rings/bars, dew straps/controllers, focusing masks etc etc, but it all came together today.
This is just M20 taken with the reducer in the Tak and taken between clouds, so around 655mm. I was hoping to take M20 without the reducer but all this new gear is sucking so much out of the batteries, I ran out of go juice and the mount stopped slewing
This is also the first run for my home brew dew controller come power distribution box (picture added). I now realise it needs more than a 3amp fuse in it. I blew that when the qhy8 turned on
Yes I need to work on colour balance with the qhy8 and focus isn't right either but the hardware is in place. I've crossed to the dark side ....
