Astrophotography with C6-RGT

Anyone have any success/failure with astrophotography with the C6-RGT??? I have yet to see any meaningful posts on this subject. I HAVE seen posts in other forums regarding how to tweak the mount to accept and take full advantage of an autoguider... which will help. BUT, beyond that I havent heard of anyone doing any meaningful imaging with one.

By imaging I mean the full spectrum of objects (DSO's, planetary, solar system, etc.) As well, would be interesting to see what kinds of images one gets utilizing a chromacor or -V and projection.

I have one, but don't really plan on doing much imaging. The mount is too shaky with that long OTA. I will be using the mount with some smaller scopes for imaging.

When the Chromacorrs first came on the scene, Valery made it quite clear that these were optimized for visual use and if my memory serves me correctly, there was significant false color in the ultra-violet which affected the photographic performance. I don't know if that has changed over the years or not.
