Its been a couple weeks since the Edge HD 11" came in and I'm still figuring out backfocus, guiding with an off-axis guider and exposure time and how to stop the wind. I'm using the F7 Focal reducer on it so right now my focal length is 1980 mm so that helps a little, but where my telescope is setup gets a lot of breezes off of the ocean. So of the 40 - 2min exposures I was able to use 14 of them, though clouds killed about 6 of them.
This is my first somewhat decent image from the new scope, it is an HaRGB image using an Ha image from the ASI1600MM and a RGB image from the L-eNhance filter using the ASI294MC. It needs a lot more exposures because there is quite a bit of background noise but I think its a good start.
