Yay I am imaging, got everything remounted, aligned and working. So far, compared to being setup outside, the seeing doesn't seem to be affected by being in a dome. I have to be mindful moving around inside so as not to bump anything but there is adequate room...grabbed a few Ha subs on NGC 6164 to compare with what I got in Newcastle for my Fighting Dragons and it is clear I am in a much better environment now

To start with I have setup with the familiar FLI image train as before, just to iron out any issues that may arise from being in a cramped dome but soon I will fit the little Starlight express with off axis guider.

Jumping up and down on the slab is not visible on the imaging screen and a hard thump on the pier settles on the screen an a couple of second! It's so good, packing up will be a breeze....let the new journey begin, in an observatory

Still need to wash her though...
