Description

While at the 2017 Peach State Star Gaze, Scott Roberts was kind enough to let me image for a bit with the company's new ED165CF FPL-53, a 165mm apochromatic triplet refractor using FPL-53 glass. The ED152 .7 Focal Reducer seems to work well on it. In spite of it's large size, my Skywatcher NEQ6 Pro was able to carry the scope and guide for the better part of the night at .19 Total RMS.
