Description

18 minutes of data with an 120mm F/5 Achromat (Skywatcher Travelstar) stopped down to 80mm

The challenge is to get an as good as possible image with a very very basic telescope.

The Travelstar 120mm f/5 is one of the less expensive telescopes on the market

Trying to tweak it to it's best performance reducing the blue chromatic abberation halo.

In fact I'm pleased with the appearance of this image.
