Description

A very unexpected clear night, with no Moon....I had to shoot something I I thought I'd try this with my 4" refractor. I wish I'd used the 8" Newt as it would have been a much cleaner image, but I'm thinking about pruning my telescope collection (having had my car broken into and stuff stolen which I need to replace) and wanted to put this one through its paces. 

I can see the expected noise of the f/7.7 compared to the Newt's f/4.
