Description

I am tuning up my wide field set up that pairs the asi6200 with my old original WO Zenithstar61. This combination is as wide as I can go without going DSLR and camera lens. The other test involving wide field M51 and asi6200 was with my AT92 and showed stars in the corner too far away from the sensor, this initial set up shows too close to the sensor.

I think this is going to be fun for big objects and pairs of things, like the Heart and Soul. Also this shot is ridiculously good for below average seeing, a 95% full moon and 46 minutes of integration, with full credit to the gear.
