Description

First light on my 8" f/4 Newtonian Astrograph... Of course it had to be M42!

Shots taken in between the clouds. Bright targets for the win!

I'm thrilled with the combination of detail from the large aperture combined with the speed. I'm used to large scopes being high ratios (f/8-f/12). Collimation may still be a little off -- more work to do there.
