This is the first test shot off an RCOS 12" I just bought here. I have not operated a scope in 4 years, so I can't remember JACK about how to process this data, but I am posting it anyway, with apologies to the RCOS community smile . This is 20 1 minute subs unguided.

The seeing was ok, but not great. This was just from my backyard in San Diego. Can't wait to learn how to do this stuff again!
