Description

Now that it is at least a little cooler outside here in Phoenix I have my C14 back outside ready for some work.  The AP1600AE is just the bomb.  Most of the sessions were less than 0.4" RMS total error for guiding.  It was not a great night even with a fair amount of scattered very high clouds rolling in on early morning.  I kept everything just to see how it would work and PI did a great job cleaning it all up.  A few things left on the checklist before I "certify" my setup.  It is in bad need of collimation and I need to make a new pointing model with APPM for the mount but in spite of all of that I'm ok with the shot.
