hi,

i got the mount back a while ago after it was repaired, at last, so i thought it would be a good idea to test the little scope,

so 1st this is the portable setup

you can see the lovely orange skies behind the telescope.

now here is a test image, its only 5x5 minute subs, you can see some coma and also the primary is not centered well and there is a dognut
