Nice not having to worry much about calibration - things get very sensitive to seeing though at that scale.

In the end after my reluctance to change over imaging systems (lazy) the process was quite straight forward, everything went together and worked in unison first go, nice to see sub frame sets that don't need aligning too
...new experience for me

The comparison with the 8m Gemini south makes it even more so.

The idea based on the equipment specs is to be able to utilise the better seeing that I get now outside Canberra (compared to Newcastle anyway!
) the off axis guide and being inside a dome, together, at least in theory, I should be able to get slightly higher resolution images of galaxies and PN's etcetera
The Gemini South comparison, as I have said many times before
, provides a base from which one can see what details are present in an image, not to suggest there is some sort of miraculous force at play that allows a 12" scope in my backyard to actually compete with an 8m giant up in the Andes... some people just can't help themselves
(not you
)
