Description

I am up and running with my HEM44EC and Celestron 8 scope now.  That's good, as galaxy season continues!  I still have a lot to learn about working at this long focal length, 2023mm, but so far I am somewhat happy with my early results.  There is always more to learn!  Another example of a flocculant galaxy.  These are such beautiful targets!  Clear Skies
