Description

I was amazed of this image of m66 in the Leo Triplet with a simple skywatcher 130 pds and starizona reducer 0.75
focal length 485 mm
Collimation was good, even though fwhm seeing was 4-5 , Bortle 7,  the image showed lots of detail.

Used a 183 mm pro and L extreme filter so no color data just Ha and Oiii data.

Trying out this setup for a trip to the Andes this summer in Bortle 1-2 zone and seeing of 0.5 fwhm.
seems a good choice for a light travel setup.

Cheers

Dick
