First Light With New Scope M27

Super image there Carl....well done

Carl thats a fab image very sharp but i can also see
a slight effect in the bottom right corner what are your
own thoughts. Have you preformed an accurate polar
alignment yet because hopefully it's field rotation

What method do you use for focusing?

Hi Michael,

I just use the focus asset that comes Atik software very simple to use.

the stars are getting a bit "eggy" - less so in the upper right corner.

Hi Dave,

I think it might be a bit of coma. I'm not to sure but it is something I'm looking into . as for exposures where 15 x 4 minutes. from 20 x 4 min dam satellites

Fantastic image Carl, shows what the scope can do, now we want more.

Great shot,interesting work.
