Description

My first Astrobin submission!

Acquired over 2 nights in late January and early February.  Had to shovel a path through the snow to set up the telescope!

I've found using a wratten #8 light yellow filter helps reduce the purple chromatic aberration when using a doublet ED telescope.

Update 3/2024

New ESPRIT 100ED telescope.  Use all data from both telescopes for galaxies and LRGB data from ESPRIT for stars.
