Description

The system is not exactly for galaxies, so the subject in the image is quite small, but a galaxy 50 million light years away cannot be expected to be large in its 800mm field of view.

The winter is not cold in the vicinity of the star. Flue gases and steam were an everyday phenomenon around here, but for testing purposes, the system tested quite well. In this case, the problem of the tube cap turning on the telescope by itself was also solved, although it was not placed on the tube, but on the wall of the observatory in order to reduce weight.
