Description

First time shooting for a Globular Cluster (intentionally, anyway). Using an old Galileo FS-102NT Newtonian Reflector 102mm f/8.8 @ prime focus @900mm unguided on SmartEQ Pro+. Shot at iso1600, just did gradient removal and quick noise reduction.

I'm surprised the thing still works...I learned the hard way I didn't need to cut my OTA to achieve prime focus with my DSLR. It's now known as the Duct Tape OTA. On a side note, anyone know where I can get a 5"x30" cardboard tube?
