Description

This is my first serious attempt to do a photography with a Celestron Edge HD 11" instrument. I bought it second-hand in November, and used couple of nights to figure out the setup, including guiding with an OAG etc. I am pleasantly surprised that the 'star bloat' is not as terrible as i thought (though this is processed image with some shrinking already applied), nor was the guiding that i worried about (the FWHM is on par with photos taken by my 3 inch refractor WO GT81iv). The biggest challenge turned out to be fine tuning the prism in the OAG and the need to take proper flats, as the dirt and vignetting really show bad. Any feedback what will help me improve much appreciated!
