This is a first light image with an 8" newt and ST402ME. I'm not real sure about the collimation of the scope. When I collimated I used an eyepiece and it looked good but when I attached the camera, the collimation looked off a bit. Not sure why.

Brian,
Congrats on first light with the set up. Pretty good pic out of the chute.

Nice shot Brian!
I'm sure you'll work out the little collimation quirks... 8)
