First image with the new telescope!
I’m finally starting to take images! All the setup is done. A lot of delays caused by clouds, wind, etc. I’m just finished with the Ring Nebula.
Working through problems
I’m working thru the issues, trying to get the telescope ready for automated imaging. Some of my challenges are: I’m not good at staying up late!, work schedule, high winds, clouds, and lastly after doing an around 500 point T Point model, I found the polar alignment was way off. I noticed the bubble level on the mount was off too.
New telescope on the mount
The new AG Optical Systems Telescope is up on the mount. I have a lot of wiring to do, to put it all back together. I got my smaller FSQ-106 telescope on top of it also. The old C11 looks pretty tiny compared to this new one. I’ll be selling the old C11 telescope.
New AG Optical Systems telescope has arrived!
The new AG Optical Systems telescope was delivered today! A 14.5″ iDK, with carbon fiber tube. It looks a lot larger than I expected, almost the size of a 55 gallon oil drum!
