Description

This is an SHO image capture of NGC2359 utilizing my home made 10" Newtonian Astrograph.  It is the first light image for that instrument.   As you can probably tell, I have some work to do to eliminate tilt and adjust the back focus for the corretor.  I think the back spacking may be adequate.  The tilt is an issue and so is collimation to a lesser extent.  If you have any suggestions let me know.  in the meantime I like the scale of the image and am looking forward to perfecting my build.
