Description

This isn't quite the first light for my "galaxy cannon" Astro-Tech 8" Ritchey-Chrètien, but it's the first reasonably successful image. Still some work to do fine-tuning the collimation.

[LATER] Think I've got the collimation reasonably sorted. Acquired more data after getting it tweaked; this time I used the ASI 183 instead of the Pentax. Integrated with Astro Pixel Processor, worked quite well I thought.
