Subject: First image light with 18" ultralite dob

Well, actually second image light since I did try some monochrome imaging the night before and realized I needed to chop off four inches from the truss poles to create enough focus travel room for a filter wheel and powered focuser.

Here's Jupiter at around f/15 under medicore seeing:

Can't wait for some real Spring weather and hopefully better skies!
