Description

First image with my new equipment. I normally shoot small and faint galaxies with my 14 inch Edge HD but I needed a rig that I could easily carry to dark sites. So I bought the WO GT81 which gives me 384mm focal length with the 0,8x reducer. Needless to say, I needed to find different targets. So, I started with the obvious one for this focal length at this time of the year. Not very original but it gave me a chance to try it out. And I am very satisfied with the results.
