Description

I further refined the collimation of the Equinox 2 telescope and, albeit not perfect, it is probably close to as good as it can be.
All of these pictures have not been processed at all (not even cropped a bit), except for a mild boost to colors, and so should give a fair idea of what the Equinox 2 can do on its own.
The sky was very murky, more than hazy, and normally "unworthy" of stargazing, but the Equinox 2 provided good images of stellar objects.
