Default ASTRO: Twisted Dance of the Doomed

After a 1.5 year hiatus and a full month from setup to first light results,
I am happy top post the first images from the newly-resurrected Stinger 450
Classical Cassegrain

The mighty beast was disassembled in November 2008 and has been in storage
(in pieces) at the ranch until a month ago. I set it up again one saturday
about a month ago but was unable to use it that night due to winds making
the guiding impossible. Ditto the week afterwards. Then I went to Asia for a
two week biz trip.

This weekend I managed to use it with calm winds, dark skies and a new moon
with OK seeing (~2.8-3")

I managed to get 10 decent exposures of 5 minutes before the winds picked up
making further use impossible.

It was good to get a chance to use it again and get it shaken down etc.

here is the first light image in its new location: The Twisted Dance of the
Doomed

this is an encouraging first step.... Now for good seeing, dark skies and no
wind!
