Got to use my new scope for the first time properly on a deep sky target over the weekend. This could really do with another 3 hours worth of data to finish it off, but I'm not sure I'd manage this framing again, which I do rather like..
Anyway, this target is about 24 million light years away. My new scope has a focal length of 1370mm, and uses Hyperbolic mirrors to create a coma free image. I need to work on the collimation, the mirrors aren't quire aligned properly, but I was in too much of a hurry to actually try it out to worry about spending a lot of time sorting that out.
Hope you like it.
