Description

This was the first proper image taken with my new ASA N10 astrograph. After 3 sessions with the scope learning how to collimate, focus and take effective flats etc., this was the the 4th and first successful imaging session.

I used 4 minute exposures at f3.6. The equivalent exposure with my TV85 working at f6.0 would have been ~ 11 minutes

Version B: Improved the colour saturation on the brightest stars

Version C: Adjusted the colour balance very carefully to match the coma colour to the 10th March image
