First light with the new 10" Zambuto mirror.
8 x 60 seconds on Castor
Negative image
Star shapes look good. Slight deterioration in roundness to the right of the image - perhaps some camera tilt?
This is 4 x 600 seconds on M65/M66

10 x 60 seconds on Pollux
These star images were taken to assist in orienting the camera so that North is vertical. Not quite there yet - 0.3 degrees off.

A good test to see what magnitude the 10" mirror can pick up.
Certainly mag 20 and dimmer appears to be possible.
