First Light RC 8

First time imaging with the GSO RC8 and the new focuser, did a re-balance and change of cameras between sucker holes and then took about four hours to get this 1hr 50 mins of lights. Clouds, rain then clouds etc.
Pleased to get this and know needs more tweaking.
Was the Canon 60Da hanging off the back and a modified finder guider.
I know this beautiful object has been done , and done and done, but I needed a bright DSO to test everything out and to burn through the clouds!
I like my new RC 8!!
