Made some changes on the C6; it is ready for first light. At the time of this writing, it is in the middle of winter in Northern Ohio – cold and grey skies. I usually take a break from astronomy at this time of year; as the older I get the less I like standing out in the cold. The tinkering is done and this rig is ready for work. I have been thinking about setting up an observatory for it, using a shed from Home Depot: modified, of course.

I have just set up the alignment of the finder, autoguider, and the main OTA with the help of an artificial star.
