Description

M8 through my new (to me) Takahashi FSQ106N. This is RGB only; had a pop-up weather cell move over and crushed me half way through the night. It is 15 R, 15 G, and only 7 B.

My big takeaway from this image is how amazing good glass is. I'd always assumed I could probably do the same as any other scope with my ED80. Boy, was I wrong. It popped as soon as I saw it in Pixinsight!

Anyways, it really sold me on having a great telescope.
