Description

I stumbled upon a second-hand Newtonian the other day. This was a real bargain. Now I have a new toy which I have to get used to. The plan is to use it for visual observations but also for planetary imaging.

This is the very first light from yesterday. I still have to figure out how to collimate properly, but visually it was a very nice experience to see Jupiter in around 250x magnification. Quite a step from my 81 mm APO.

Best from Switzerland,

Jan

PS: Shot with a 2x Barlow to reach a total focal length of 2400 mm. Used 50% of a 4000 frames movie.
