Description

First light for Intes MN84. Shot of M42 Orion Nebula, 10 second sub due to poor polar alignment (couldn't see polaris). Focuser intruded in light path because of my camera adapter. This is an APS-C sized sensor so I am happy with the stars across the FOV given that it is an 8" F/4 with no coma corrector. The Maksutov-Newtonian design naturally gives a FOV with much less coma than a comparable parabolic newtonian telescope.
