First Light

A trip to Bintel usually involves a purchase of some sort and last week was no exception.
I picked up a GSO six inch reflector for two reasons. One was for an easily portable scope for my none descript Taiwanese mount and I can obtain focus with my D200 without any mods.

I really need to work on the drift alignment and focus but, I feel there is potential in what is an ultra budget imaging rig.

Galaxy NGC254 in Sculptor (I think). 4 4minute exposures at iso 800 + dark, stacked in DeepSkyStacker

Cheers
Deeno
