Description

Another image taken through my Vixen R200ss Newtonian. Not my favorite scope to image with, the stars always come out softer than on my refractors and coma is an issue because I don't have a corrector yet. Still, it turned out pretty nice for only 48 minutes of integration. Galaxies are really not my forte, I really need to get a longer F.L. scope to give them due justice.
