Description

The first real deep sky object i shot. After a year with an Orion 8" Dob GoTo i managed to hunt down a SCT 9,25 and a Skywatcher Neq6 Pro used, but in great shape on a two day, 1250 mile run to collect them.

Used it for Jupiter, mostly, but then i got the little SW 150pds which i used for this pic. Now i 'm completely sucked into the black hole (for my wallet anyway) called Deep sky
