Description

After some fiddling I managed to get first light with the 533mm.
Sadly I am missing some spacers to get the backfocus correct, but managed to get some data anyway.
I am quite new to combining Ha and Oiii data but managed to combine a couple of trail images of M16 while fiddling around with spacing.

As a good luck charm to my new camera the “small” asteroid 533 Sara passed in the field of view when imaging M16, see short animation.
