Here is the last decent image that I captured on my Friday all-nighter at high altitude. This image is only two 5-min frames (cloud problems!), but it turned out OK because of the dark skies and the fast scope.
Cheers,
Tyler

Very Nice Image!!! BTW, I have a CN-212 also. How far away does the Chip need to be from the Field flattener in f3.9 mode?
Thanks!
Chris
