Description

First light with my new TS-Optics 130mm Photoline f/7 triplet.

I did not receive the flattener yet as you can see on the stars :-)

Also I did not receive my new mount yet, so this data is aquired with my CEM25P loaded to the absolute maximum payload capacity.

This impacted guiding and I had to shorten exposures to 120 seconds per frame.

This was also the first shot ever with my ZWO OAG. The OAG mirror covered the chip in the top right corner of the image, but it seems like I was able to handle that pretty well in post processing.

In addition to these challenges it was also quite windy. But I am happy with the result.
