Description

First light for my newly acquired equipment. Just a test shot on an easy target made before the moon came up. There few problems to tackle, some of them I suspect are related to modification (red halos around bright stars for example). Overall I am pretty satisfied with the performance though, f/2 really shows its power.

The FOV features beautiful Milky Way with famous Lagoon and Trifid nebulae as well as Saturn (brightest 'star' in the image, near the center of the image) passing by.
