Description

This is what amounts to my first light image with my 4 month old FSQ-106EDX-4 and F3RD reducer. Its been a long road to get this thing operational... and I still have tilt issues with the CAA that I have to work out. But I'm really excited about the field of view compared with my TSA-120... just over 4X the area!

Focus drifted quite a bit and was never very tight to begin with, plus I had substantial dew and even thought I had the dew control hooked up, I forgot to turn it on! LOL!

Its a start...

July 3, 2016

I've added some OIII that I got last night from the Los Angeles Astronomical Society site at Lockwood Valley.... great skies! I decided to pull together a quick Bi-Color process. I'll be moving forward with getting some SII data to add ti this very soon.
