Description

Grüezi,

I found a nice bargain for a used William Optics GTF81 refractor last week, which I could not resist. This is the very first light with it. I just got used to the short focal lengths of my Nikon lenses (135 and 180), but now I have to learn again how to handle such a "big" telescope. I am happy with this first try. The light pollution of the moon and the nearby city was quite bad and I do not have a light pollution filter for the Canon camera yet. So there is a lot to improve... but for one hour of exposure in a Bartle 5 zone this amount of detail makes me very happy.

Best regards from Switzerland,

Jan
