Description

First light with my new OTA! I've bought an used 8-inch Newtonian reflector for a really low price. My first attempt is quite astonishing! The guy who owned it before me seems to have done a pretty good job on calibrating the optics!

The second big step in this presentation is my first success in StarTools! Noise reduction could have been better, but I'm still learning! I think I'll move forward to ST in the next time. My PI trial ended some days ago and I didn't achieve any "wow"-result like this here in such a short time. And for that low price of ST... - unbeatable!

Another puzzle piece on my way to affordable AP!

Enjoy it!
