Description

The "old" Leo Triplet again, wanted to see if I can improve previous attempts, and with a focal length of 714mm not many galaxy targets are really big enough. My attempt with the 2x Barlow failed miserably (I would not post the result of this trial here 😉), my mount is not good enough to handle 1400mm focal length, way too shaky. That is actually good to know, a new scope idea shall consider the limitations of the mount. This version visible here was then obtained the next night with the "standard" 1x 714mm setup, which looks much nicer.
