Description

This is my first processed image from my recently reconstituted 10" Newtonian. In the late 1960s, my grandfather hand ground this 10" mirror. I inherited the mirror in 1983 but never had the time or money to repair and rebuild it. I finally did! We then took it to West Texas for it's first light. This wasn't the first image I captured, but it is the first one I was able to process. This ones for you, Pop-Pop!
