Hi Rob - Meade 10" SCT with f/6.3 focal reducer/flattener, Canon 60Da, on a Losmandy G11 (which, as you point out, needed a bit of polar alignment - I'd left it in place from the night before, but fiddled with the RA gearbox and worm during the day in the course of which I clearly bumped it out of whack).

I've also just discovered that all the darks I used had light leaking in from the viewfinder. So I'm retaking darks and will reprocess.
