Description

Last time i shot this target was pretty much at the beginning of my "serious" astro photografy journey in 2022 with the same scope (not updated back then) an an Sony A7riii DSLM.
Today the 8"Skywatcher PDS i was shooting with has a mirror mask, velour on the inside, a new fokuser, main mirror mask and a cnc spider for the secondary mirror. The imaging quality improved so strong, that for me now this, my first scope, is a keeper. I was pondering very long if i should sell it and buy something else for it with higher quality, but because it was my first scope ever i could not make it to part from it...so i decided to work on it and for me it clearly paid off. Hope you like the results.
