Kerry - The scope has a 890mm FL @ F8.3 before any reducing. I put the reducer on because it allows me to get the full disk of the Moon or Sun in when I use the MC on that scope.

Roland - Thanks for the ACG setting advice. I'll have to play with all the settings anyway as the camera has been temporally moved to a 12" SCT (the 102mm has been removed from the setup and packed away).

My MC is an older model that has the 7 & 14 second integration switch. I never used the integration (or cooling) features because they weren't remote controllable. I did design a remote wireless switch that works with my current wireless setup but I never got around to building it. More than likely when I am done playing with it on the SCT, it will go back to its original home as it was actually purchased to be a E-finder and is normally attached to a SV 50mm finder.
