Description

First light with my brand new Skywatcher Skymax-180 Maksutov-Cassegrain telescope. I purchased it to keep me busy during nights with moon shine, galaxy season, and the short summer nights, when my deep-sky telescopes are of limited use.

I installed a Baader Steeltrack focuser and a Pegasus Focus Cube 2 motor to get a very sturdy imaging train with the camera screwed to the focuser. No clamped connections.

The frames were stacked with a relatively new software called Planetary System Stacker:

The Focus Cube is my second Pegasus product. I already use the Ultimate Power Box 2. Both work like a charm. Very reliable, simple installation, good control software, and they support Ascom and INDI. Big thumbs up to Pegasus Astro!
