Description

My first target through my recently acquired Zenithstar 61. Backspacing isn't right (what William Optics states doesn't seem to work for me!) and I only managed 75 mins of integration time thanks to clouds rolling in, but I love the wide field of view I get. 

I chose this target as I've shot it through my 8" Newt and 81mm refractor recently too, so a nice comparison.
