Great Zot! I'm in f-ratio heaven!

First light with my new SN10 tonight. Also first slew with the new EQ6. Overall, I'm pretty chuffed. More detail later today. Need to sleep right now.

That sounds like a nice combo SN10 on an EQ6 and a 40D

With that f ratio and mirror size, it sound nice 'n fast. How is the sharpness?

I sure hope so! I look forward to imaging with it. There needs to be a few adjustments made to the scope first. The focuser must go!

It's very sharp. I'm quite impressed actually. I've posted a quick first light report. There's a few issues to work through, but I think it will be winner in the end. The centre 30% of the FOV is tack-sharp, with noticeable but bearable coma at 50%.
