Description

First light (sort of) for the TOA150. A seal came loose in the lens group and had to go to Japan for 6 months. While this was a bummer, the objective came back looking absolutely brand new, including a new beauty ring. For all I know it could be a brand new objective.

I sat on this data for a few months thinking I might get some more/better data. Decided to just process it out and move on for now. Always a fun target, and was able to tease out some nice detail is some of the galaxies. The data isn’t perfect, and some of the frames were distorted by tree limbs.
