Description

As my husband Peter Ceravolo continues to test his 36 inch telescope in ‘my’ observatory, I have not been able to do any deep sky imaging and processing for several months now. But he did set up our second observatory with a re-furbished 16 inch Bowler and Chivens classical Cassegrain telescope he rescued from a college in Kentucky, US. It’s an f/18 with a focal length of 7400!  Tiny field of view, so you just have to go after tiny objects 😊. This photo is only a 4.2 arc minute field of view. The resolution is .126 arc seconds per pixel.
