Description

I am pleased with the result of this, as I rarely image with the new 8" Cassegrain, f12, at the moment. I tend to use it on occasions when there is a bright moon, so as not to waste any opportunities that might come my way, when I can use my other scopes. A sort of practising with it. I am yet to sort out some of the misshaped stars, but I will get there. I took 66 subs at 3 minutes in length each, under a 91% illuminated moon. The imaging time was thus 3 hours and 18 minutes. Thanks everyone...
