Description

This was my first light target for my new Takahashi FSQ106EDx4 with the F3 reducer. Of course the night clouded up and about 80% of my subs were unusable, but I was really surprised with how well it still turned out, especially the star and color sharpness compared to me previous Explore Scientific 102mm.
