First Light Test with Adaptive Optics!

I recently acquired an SBIG AO-7 module for use with my ST-2000XCM deep space camera. This module allows me to use the SBIG camera at the full 2 meter focal length of the 8" LX200 Classic telescope, which simply wasn't practical before due to the limitations of the LX200 mount. This opens the door for higher resolution imaging of small deep space objects.
