Description

First light RGB only image with my new AG Optical 14.5" iDK. I figured it was a good choice for a target as it was well placed after getting my scope. Conditions were terrible with poor seeing and plenty of smoke haze from the Canadian wildfires. The scope still needs critical collimation but that will have to wait until better conditions. I got the Optec Gemini with the scope and it is a dream to use.
