[pvelez (Pete)]

Now that I am on semester break from SAO, I decided to give the new (to me) FSQ106N a whirl. Its been sitting in its pelican box waiting to be taken out for the last 2 months.

I have a QSI583 wsg and it worked a treat - autoguiding was a snap with that new acrylic disk in the imaging train and with pulse guiding. (Damn dodgy ST-4 cable led me on a merry chase of my own tail!).

Anyhow, here is that windy night from last week - 50 minutes L, 15 minutes each RGB. Stars are fat and the whole picture is a bit noisy. But as a first shot with the new scope, I am a v happy camper.
