With the moon finally at bay, I was able to get a few good nights on a
target I hadn't visited in a while. Once again, used the SXV-H16 and
the 10" Newt with MPCC corrector. Still have a small tilt in the
camera. (upper-right and lower left bloated), but I'm getting there.
It has adjustment screws, but with a square sensor, getting the correct
orientation isn't as easy as one might think.
Also, just got the Moonlite focuser stepper motor and got it working
with focusmax...autofocusing worked great! Beats getting bitten by
mosquitoes while trying to move the focuser fractions of a millimeter...
