Description

As a Monty Python fan, I can't un see the beast from the Holy Grail movie here in the Small Magellenic Cloud! 

It is of course NGC 292 & friends, in Ha & O3, shot under a full moon while testing my new Tak TOA-35 0.7 reducer, which finally arrived from Japan after 3-4 months waiting.

I'll have another go at this when the moon wanes and I get my focuser sorted out.

When I screwed on the new reducer I couldn't bring it to focus with my Tak CAA/rotator in place, so I'm having a shorter end cap adapter made up  to suit.

The stars are almost round in the corners too, so a small spacing tweak to sort that,  then I'll finally have the dream scope I thought I was purchasing a year ago!
