Default astro: ic5070

You are a digital wizard!! I was looking at your comment in your first
post and was about to ask you if your comment about collimation was
based in general on star shape in the lower left; that seems to be gone
in version 2 with the re-stack. Nevertheless - great first light!!

btw - glad Gustav missed you, we had it in radar here. Ike has been
threatening us big time so I'm pulling the scope and mount off the pier
over the next few days and moving them to a secure building till early
October. I'm scheduled to be at sea later this month and I just don't
see trying to push my luck.

- take care - Rod

I re-stacked this and that helped the field rotation, also brightened it
up some....
