Not expecting any clear weather, I was surprised by the lack of clouds this evening, hence bolted a CCD to my new scope.
As murphy's law would have it, there was insufficient back-focus using standard adapters to accept the STX & filterwheel.
Removing the filter wheel provided a temporary fix.(a suitable adapter will not arrive for a couple of weeks)
There was no doubting the focus...just a gentle tweak of the 10:1 saw peak values jump 20% with another tweak showing a similar drop.
I have to say the edge stars did not look too shabby at all....can't wait to do some deep NB with this puppy!
Anyway, below is the "first light" image (OK...chose a standard candle: Eta Carina ) No filter. exposure was just 5 minutes.
The image is uncropped but was re-sized at 50% to be web friendly
