First light RC10C!

Hi All,

Scope arrived Friday, unexpected nice weather tonight.

Setup scope, focuser etc on Friday night, when I had a break in the clouds.

Test shots of Omega Centauri, I like to use a glob as a system test, shows all the horrid things first. A quick starfield test somewhere in Sag showed near perfect collimation and a pretty flat field in CCDInspector. This is taken with the scope as it arrived, straight out of the box.

Usual camera gear.

Closeup of the core as well.

Cheers
Stuart
