Description

This was first light with my (new to me but used) RC8; it was in desperate need of cleaning and then a collimation and I had NO idea how. AFTER a few attempts and a lot of HELP from Dean at STARIZONA and then shipping to him (from Indiana) and a small readjustment when i got it back I had a new scope practically.

I set my eyes on something with some start spikes and thought this would be a great target. ALBEIT very very faint and I'm in a Bortle 6.

This is a little over 11 hours and does need more but I am pretty happy with results. Such a soft and subtle target. The HA integration was a bit of a challenge and more time would bring out the lovely dust
