Description

A month ago I took a picture with my 80 APO tube. The galaxy came out quite nicely, but it was very small, it was lost in the picture. I've wanted a bigger telescope for a long time, but I was afraid of Newtonian tubes. Now is the time to buy one. I chose the same as my first target, so I can make a comparison. I was not disappointed, the 2.5x larger diameter shows its skills. I'm happy with my new telescope
xpo time and locations are the same. The quality of the sky was similar.
