CPC11 now calibrated and ready for use. Polar alignment is good (Got a drift check last night). The optics are fabulous!
It is ready for general use.
It is important that users do not “play” until orientated. There are a couple of quirks that require minimal orientation.
Those who were accredited on the 12 inch Meade already know about opening the enclosure. Just need a run through of start up and shut down procedure. This can be done in one session. If anybody wants to get the hang of it, let me know and I can come out to supervise.
I can run sessions for groups of about 4 for complete accreditation purposes (for opening the enclosure, start and shut down the scope and closing the enclosure).
From there the menus are self explanatory and you cannot do any harm by exploring sky objects.
Bring on the stars!
