Description

I originally imaged this object with my 8 Inch Newtonian Astrograph. After processing the image for some reason I thought I could do a better job if I used a small refractor instead of the 8 Inch Newt. So the next night I decided to image this object with my Astro-Tech AT72ED Refractor. As it turned out the image was about the same and definitely not any better. But hey I never know until I try.
