This image is the product of everything working right for an hour before the nebula ducked behind my neighbor's tree. This is 6x10' through the 10" Newt, with the Atik 16 through a Baader MPCC and Astronomik 12nm Ha [+NII] filter. The scope was autoguided off-axis.The scope was working here the way I hope it will always work. The off-axis mirror is in front of the Ha filter but behind the Baader MPCC. The scope was collimated well. I think I have the scope balanced well on the mount. The FT focuser works like a charm. Everything was operated from inside the house using a long USB extender and wireless controls for the focuser.
