AT10RC and TMB 130 on Paramount GT1100S

            Here's a photo of the new scope (well new to me). AT10RC Astro-Tech 10" f/8 Ritchey-Chrétien astrograph  and the TMB130SS piggybacked. Mounted on the Paramount GT1100S GEM.

I'm using the stock AT 3 inch focuser, AT 2 inch field flattener. Guiding using the QHY5V and Stellarvue Mini Guider I modified from a finderscope and I was really expecting to have to go for an OAG but so far it seems to guide well even at 2000mm. I'm really impressed with it's performance.
My plan in the short term is to use the modded Canon T1i on the AT10RC and the QHY9M on the TMB 130 for wider field.
