Description

The first light of a recently acquired Redcat 51. I'm super happy with the result, especially since it was taken with a OSC and only a few hours from a Bortle 9 sky.
The lack of the need for a field flattenet makes all the difference, and the F/4.6 speed of the scope is very satisfying.
