First light with a new scope C100 (IC2948), Running Chicken Nebula

[Baobab (Bohdan)]

Finally weather and my real live obstacles left a small gap for me to try out my new scope - TS-Optik 94mm Triplet APO F5.5 (re-badged Sharpstar really) with Apex ED reducer down to F3.6. Not fully tuned out as I am waiting for a custom adapter from Starizona for this telescope and still fighting backfocus but here we go...

Lots of good detail. Looks almost like narrowband with those colours.

[Baobab (Bohdan)]

thank you sir, it is sort of pseudo narrowband - UHD filter first and then overlayed with starless Ha filter subs.

Good work.
I'm looking at some TS Optics scopes in the future. Did you get stung for customs/GST charges?

[Baobab (Bohdan)]

Yop, and the FedEx took their cut too as tax and duty went through them - but still much faster and a few hundred cheaper than Sharpstar form Aus dealer or from Aliexpress.

Looking good, you nailed the noise reduction which is difficult given the amount of background nebulosity
