Description

One does not typically think of the FSQ 106 as a galaxy hunting scope, but it holds up fairly well on large and medium sized galaxies.  The C11Edge is obviously the preferred instrument for this task, but if seeing remains poor, the requisite bin factor renders the image size quite small, with a galaxy size similar to that of the FSQ but without the FOV.  So in many cases, for me, the FSQ is the better option.  I would love to have 2 mounts so I could have both set up and choose which one to use based on conditions.
