Description

First Light on my previously-owned (new to me) Sharpstar 15028 HNT, also using a IDAS NB1 filter for the first time. Have to say I'm happy with the less noticeable star-halo as compared to the D2 filter, and very easy to manipulate the RGB channels in PixInsight. this is only one night's integration, and as far north as I am, 2hrs was about the maximum dark sky for this close to the summer solstice. Chose a target that I've attempted with a previous setup for my own baseline, and really thrilled to see what else I can attempt with this little light bucket. I find it to be a fun scope, light, easy to balance, and I personally love having diffraction spikes that add a sense of motion to the final image. Next step: tighter collimation!
