Description

This is the first light of my backyard rig and the ASI 294MM. First, I'm quite impressed with the resolution provided by this little camera and it's ability to capture small details at such a small focal length - shooting at 1x1 yields 47 mpx and an image scale of 1.24 on a reduced 80mm frac!

Also, most of my images comes from my own remote observatories in Texas but I missed tinkering in the backyard. My generous wife got me an EQ6r for the backyard to play with and this is also the first light for that rig - using my old trusty Orion ED80T CF. It's great to be back in the backyard game!
