RC 10 First Light (Finally!)

Hey guys. After having the RC10 just sitting around in the obs for over a month due to bad weather and guiding issues just to name a few, last nights conditions were great.

I managed to get the the new guiding hardware working, and it behaved quite well, letting get 5 x 15 minute subs of NGC 253, before heading in. I think the focus is a slight bit off, it looks a bit soft? But I'm mainly working on the guiding for now. It's quite rough and noisy, but I think it looks promising for things to come
