Description

I found a RASA 8 at an incredible discount because of NEAF cancellation. I paired it with my new ASI 294MC OSC color that just came in off an almost 4 month back order. I was so excited to pair the two together that I shot with a full moon.

Obviously extreme gradients in the image and I still don't have a Luminance filter for the RASA, but I was too excited not to give Andromeda a try!!!!

Better images to come for sure, but I just couldn't resist.
