Here's a test image from last night. I'm still trying to get the BRC collimated. Very challenging -- at least for this small brain.

BRC-250 f/5
STL-11000M
RGB 25:25:25 min

I still don't have my PDF so the focus is not right on -- the FWHM was 2.8 by my hand focusing.

Glad to see you back Tom. I'm sure we are going to enjoy lots of images with your new setup.

Very nice. Seems to be quite well collimated.

You can use the Tak collimating scope.
I am about to get my collimation better on an RCOS and I got an Antares laser unit from Scope Stuff I used to use on a Vixen R200SS. That was touchy to collimate but the laser made it veyr easy and fast. I also got a Cheshire eyepiece to double check.

Greg.
