This is my first image with this telescope "TS 12" Ritchey-Chretien Astrograph"
and the Anti-Halo PRO Dual-Band 2″ Ha+OIII filter, I did spend a lot of time trying
to set it up (the collimation is not perfect but I will get there eventually,
and setting up the OAG which I couldn't get to work yet, I really can’t figure
this one out but I will somehow), I used the EvoGuide 50DX APO as a Guide Scope
(I know it is not the right guide scope for this telescope but it did well),
I picked the The Elephant's Trunk as my target, because the other day
I saw this image from
@Matthew Russell and I was stunning by
his result and I set my goals too high, still a long way to go but overall
I am very pleased with the results, It is a great Telescope, I hope to master this beast,
but so far is being a great learning curve and I am having a lot of fun,
I want to thank
WAskywatcher for sharing his thoughts and experience with the Orion 12" Truss telescope and
Ahmed Wegdan for his support.
