Description

First light with the new William Optics Gran Turismo 71 APO! I am excited to be using a wide-field refractor on some of the larger targets in our winter sky and the results are thrilling! The quality of this scope is top notch! Another plus is how easy it was to get everything put together out of the box. This isn’t going to be the final version of this image, but I didn’t want to wait to share it. There are some minor adjustments to make. This was taken from the Bortle 7 backyard! I will be adding more time on this target over the next few weeks or so (sounds like clouds and rain are on the way) to help smooth it out a little more.
