Description

This was a TERRIBLE night to get first light on this scope, but I couldn't help myself!!  Thin layer of clouds with occasional thicker clouds passing by.   Overall just a yucky, soupy low transparency sky.... yet this little scope managed to really perform and pull out some colors!   Was just testing for CA, Flatness and overall gear configuration - looks like it is all good!

Oh - and from heavily light polluted skies on top of all else...........

You have to zoom in on the star cluster to really appreciate this one!   And.... can you find the little galaxy hiding in here?!
