First test with the new telescope

[TareqPhoto (Tareq)]

First test ever with my new scope, GSO 6" F/4, the collimation is not perfect, and the balance is also not good, no polar alignment as i was in hurry, but i wanted to see if the mirrors are not good or just normal quality acceptable anyway.

Also it is a test for my latest camera, ASI178MC, not sure if those are good examples to judge, but i feel/think that the scope is good enough, the more care and better collimation i can do the better results i can get, so i will be patient with it.

First one is RAW16 mode without filter, second also no filter at RAW8, the last two are with Baader Neodymium Moon&Skyglow filter, third is at RAW8 and last is RGB42 mode.

Looks like your having fun. By doing trial and error you will learn how everything works for you. Then you can tweak and adjust. Be careful not to blow out the bright bits, zooming in and adjusting. I hope this helps

The moon is easy, i can tweak and practice with it forever if i can, i have enough results, now i need to modify and manage the telescope so i can image more targets not just the moon, and i got some suggestions by others too.

Thank you very much
