Description

First Light with my new-to-me Meade 127 ED/APO EMC scope. On May 25 I got about 5 hours of integration on the Iris Nebula.
Focal length = 1140mm
Camera - Asi533mcp
Mount=ioptron CEM70
(I did try it on my CEM40. But the tube length, not the weight, made it too unsteady.)
ZWO EAF
Filter=UV/IR
Capture-AsiAir Pro
Stack-Astropixel Processor
Refining-Pixinsight
I do notice that the rig takes a longer time to settle since the tube is so long. But I am enjoying it so far. Even though it is a doublet I think the color correction is pretty good. I like the apparent texture it presents. This is the first time I have used a refractor that is so long.
