Description

Here is my first completed project with the Planewave 12.5" CDK. I have many areas of improvement, from calibration to collimation; I also pushed both the framing and the scope to see what I would obtain reflection wise with relatively bright stars. The scope performed very well and quality will improve from here up!

This image encompasses multiple NGC galaxies include NGC 680, 678, 697, 691 and 694. IC 167 is also visible and a target of incredible beauty. The background is full of galaxies, special attention to the galaxy cluster right below  NGC691. Just incredible!
