Description

This was the first real project with a new 8" Schmidt-Cassegrain, Celestron edgeHD. I enjoy this scope so far & like having a good long focal length rig now for targets where that is best suited. I waited many months for this telescope to finally arrive, as many have with astronomy equipment in the last few years.

The main image here was taken with the L-Extreme duo-narrowband filter. I took RGB stars with the Baader UHC filter & blended them.
