Description

My first project with the new scope, an Askar FRA600 astrograph. Great scope, huge flat field right out to the edges of my APS-C sensor (and further, I guess it works well with full frame but I don't have one of those). But the target is one I wanted to image for a while. The bow shock from a black hole jet (from Cygnus X-1, the first black hole discovered!) showing fairly prominently in the blues is so cool!
