I regularly use my M10 II on my telescope (homemade prime focus adapter.) I also use a Nikon 135 2.8 AIS with the M10 II mounted on my motorized equatorial mount.

I was able to get 30sec exposures of the Andromeda Galaxy at ISO 800. I really need 60sec. Need to spend more time on drift aligning the mount. I am also trying to identifying slight vibration during the exposures. It might be the standard focuser on the OTA and/or the clock/motor drive.

Scope is Orion Astroview 6" reflector mounted on Orion equatorial mount with accessory motor drive.

I can post more detail if anyone is interested.
