Description

Happy that I finally got to image one of the objects I love to observe under dark skies, the Double Cluster never disappoints. First time using the 0.8x reducer for the AT125EDL on my SV125 refractor. Performance is excellent with APS-C, and I would say the well corrected image circle is close to 40mm- not quite full frame.
