Hey all
I paired it to my ZWO 183MC Pro and put them atop my AZ GTI in EQ mode for it's first light in a Bortle 4 park I have 30 minutes from home.
I love it! It took me a little finessing to get the spacing right, I went with the 16.5MM and the 21MM extenders that came with the camera behind the 28mm extender that came with the scope, giving me I believe (my math may be wrong) 56MM of backspacing... Backspace is CRITICAL with this scope, but as you can see from the pictures, it is flat throughout until you reach the very extreme edges which most of us crop off to avoid stacking artifacts anyway...
It is a WONDERFUL scope, very light weight and versatile packed with a built in corrector and a SOLID focuser with a focus lock screw. I could not be happier. It will get lots of use.
I took 1 hour (60 x 60 sec subs 111 gain and 10 offset, matching darks, flats and dark flats) of each.
Rosette Nebula, M45, Witch Head Nebula, California Nebula and finally Great Orion Nebula.
I am quite happy with the results!
