M27 prostar triplete first light

[alan meehan]

Well after 2 mths since i got this prostar and all the crappy weather we have had i finally got to use this scope ,going from a newtonion to a refractor was a bit of a learning curve first go to i did a massive cord wrap on my new dew controller jamming the scope ,then the gps would not work ,also trying out the moonlite focuser which i have never used before.but was very pleased with. the moon rising i thought i would give a new astronmik cls filter a go and do a couple of shots at 10 min something unheared of in newcastle light pollution .so after bumbling around the scope i did 2x10 min shots iso800 cannon cooled 40d then some quick processing in pixinsight

That's a great start. A very pleasing image for so short a total exposure time.

Lovely image Alan!
Nice tight stars and good processing.
Good you finally got a clear night out with the new scope.
Looks like a performer so I'd say you'd be very pleased.

All the best
