Description

This is my first image acquired with the Sky Watcher 254mm Quattro (f/4). It was a test image to check if flattener, OAG and filters (all recently installed) were working. There are some annoying halos due to the primary mirror clips that will need to be addressed but apart from this I was quite impressed with the light gathering capacity of this scope. This image has a total of only 19 minutes of integration time.
