Description

First light of my TOA-130NFB! After a long wait while my mount was being fixed and then some more delays to get spacers for proper backfocus, I finally managed to squeeze in some exposures at the very end of the season. I desperatly wanted to get something done before astronomical darkness disappeared, so I chose an object that would be high in the sky for the rest of the season, even though it is a bit small for my FOV. Having spent all my time with a fast newtonian I wanted something less problematic to use with my full frame camera and after having eyeballed the ASKAR 151PHQ for a while I opted for a safer route and pulled the trigger on the much slower TOA. What a beautiful instrument it is! Now I hope equipment,  weather and day job will cooperate next season so I can shoot objects more suitable for the 990mm focal length. I do love the view of the Needle galaxy though.
