First Colour Image from TSA 120

[TheDecepticon]

Howdy.:)

Hope you are all well and getting some sky!:thumbsup:

Here is my first colour test image from the TSA 120. I don't think colour is quite right, however, it will have to do until I get a bit better with this scope.:shrug:

Thanks for looking, comments and tips welcome.

Very nice indeed Gray.:thumbsup:

[jenchris]

neat as - skeet with 1/2 choke...lol
Super pic - love it

[Octane]

Oh, you are a lucky man, indeed.

That is a superb first effort.

Bit of a green cast, though. Get rid of that, and, you'll be right.

Very nice of you to say!:thumbsup:



Hi David, thanks!:)



LOL! Ok, but I was at full throttle on my XR 600:lol:
Thank you for your comment!



Thank you H! Yes, very lucky, a great bit of kit. Really want to do justice with it now.:D

Green cast gone and image updated, too.:rolleyes:

[Octane]

Graham, that is magic! Well done. :)

Onwards and upwards.

A few minor technical quibbles on the guiding, but gotta be happy with that.
Great first result ! :thumbsup:

[multiweb]

Top shot mate. Beautiful field as expected. :thumbsup:

[TheDecepticon]

Thank you H, glad you like it!:)



Hi Peter. Yes, I can concur on the guiding. I am still stuck with a guide scope for the moment until I can get the shaft machined on the OAG to get it deeper into the light cone, so yes, happy for the time being. Looking forward to a better mount, too.;)




Thank you Marc, nice of you to comment.:D

[Rigel003]

Nice result. You're making good use of that new scope.

[Shark Bait]

Wow, and it seems the best is yet to come. I would be proud to hang that image on my wall as it is.

[Paul Haese]

Excellent resolution of the stars within the glob. Colour looks pretty good but the orange stars look just a tiny bit pink. Overall a really nice looking image.

[midnight]

Very nice Graham.

Well presented too!

[TheDecepticon]

Thanks, Graeme! Gotta run it in!!:lol:



I hope the best is yet to come. I love the colour this scope produces without pushing, much better than my old Megrez. :thumbsup:



Hi Paul. I will take another look at it. Thanks!:)



Thank you Darrin. I cropped it a bit to get the best framing as I used some subs from the previous night and had to move the camera, so it wasn't as central as it could be.;)



Thank you, Mr Sidonio!:D

[telecasterguru]

Yes, thanks Marcus, very happy with the scope and the results. :thumbsup:



Cheers, Ross. Having a good scope makes it easy, too! :D
