Description

I finally had enough clear skies for a first light image with my new Stellarvue SVX127D. I have certainly had a long wait for clear skies here to use it.  I thought using an OSC camera would really test the optics of this APO doublet. I selected the Crab Nebula to see what detail I could bring out with this scope. Great Job Stellarvue! Apologies for my OSC processing skills. They are very rusty since moving to narrow band imaging.
