Description

As clear nights have been extremely rare over the last six moths, I invested in a second equipment set featuring a Redcat51 on an EQM-35. With two telescopes I am hoping to utilize clear skies much better.
Here is the first test image with the new equipment. While the Iris Nebula may be a good object for the C9 or the Hyperstar as well - I really like the view of it being embedded in the wider cloud. I am always amazed looking at the first picture with a new focal length and new optics and seeing the kind of pictures I can make now.
