Description

The Mak's been sat idle for a time. It was my first scope, gave some good views but the SLT mount did it no favours, just about up to the job. Didnt have great time when I came to attach a camera to it either as a beginner so eventually I went to a short refractor to get my head around AP!

Decided to make another effort with the Mak recently.. fancied getting in closer to some targets that the mak would frame nicely, and wanting to go back and conquer where I struggled before.
This ones shot at native 1500mm / F12
