First Light.

Got myself a GSO 12" newt with a 3" ASA corrector and TS-Giant OAG with a qhy5L II coupled to an sx wheel and atik 11000. Maxim tells me it's running at 1149mm or F3.83.
All the bits are finally here and it stopped raining late last night so I could dial in the OAG and snap a few test shots of M8.
CCDI says I've got some droop in there and the 3.5inch secondary isn't big enough for this camera but it's a worker, even with 25Kgs in counterweights on the eq6

This is 7 x 10min Ha subs of M8 and a pic of the camera/corrector assembly.

Just levels and curves on M8.
