Description

First light with my new to me Celestron 9.25XLT, I am happy with the result. Guiding was a pain with a OAG and such a long focal length, actually just finding a guide star, the mount did very will with constant sub arcsecond guiding. Also first try at RGB imaging and processing, again happy with the result though I know there is improvement to be made. Also not bad for a 100% full moon!
