Description

This was taken on the same night as my previously posted Thor's helmet, which shows the beauty of this instrument - two objects in one night. It was tough with the moon being so bright, but I had to make the best of the break in the weather. I am hoping tomorrow might be clear. I used a combination of 60s subs, 30s subs and 5s subs for the core - I am not sure I needed the 30s subs in hindsight, but with this being just over an hour of imaging time, I am pleased with the result! Thanks everyone for your recent support and for celebrating this new scope with me. Simon  :  )
