Here is my first image with a Tak BRC250, Apogee U16M camera and Apogee FW50 7 position filter wheel (an awesome filter wheel).

5nm Ha and O111 Astrodon filters.

Bicolour (Ha red, (Ha + O111/2) green, O111 blue.

Ha 1x1 binning and O111 2x2 binning. 5 x 15 minutes each from my Sydney backyard observatory.

Autoguiding with an ST402ME ( a great camera except for the annoying clicking sound the shutter makes) on an Astrotech 66ED scope, Tak NJP mount.

All the images are excellent, Greg. Looks like you'll have some fun with the new scope.
