Description

I got out my Celestron C5 and RST-135 for opposition as my larger mount was busy imaging DSOs. The C5 is quite capable, and I love seeing what I can achieve with it. The RST-135 was a breeze to align and operate. At 2.5x focal length (2500mm) you can see the RST float around a bit with its strange PE, but basically keep the target centered. This was also first light for me with the ZWO ASI462MC camera, which seemed to perform pretty good.
