some dusty hobart stuff

Hi Folks, whilst re-learning how to do LRGB imaging again with a Ccd, I was shooting some stuff with the Sw newt (8") and the cooled 60Da.
Not quite the staff of Gandalf , more like the paper clip of Monty Python!.
Anyhoo.
Corona and the glob 6723, over a few nights, yes it takes me a few nights to get four hours 15 minutes., Snake Nebula less than two hrs,
DSS, StarTools, .
It's not a Tak, but I love it and would dearly love the bigger SW. Yes I would buy another SW. Easy collimation. Nice build. Not a bad focuser. If you are after the ultimate in scopes, for a budget. I would say yes.
