Description

First light helping my friend Bruce get his TOA150 full automated with auto focus and SGPro. Just 70 minutes worth of RGB subs at gain 50 using my QHY163m camera and Astronomik DeepSky filters. We will add Ha and O3 to the red and blue channels when we get more data.

I was very impressed with how small and perfect the stars are with the TOA150... was getting as low as 1.7-1.8 fwhm on RGB fits files.

Check out his beautiful observatory made with exotic hardwoods (to make the wife happy) and follow Bruce here: https://www.astrobin.com/users/Brucew/
