Thumbs up First Light with FLT-132

Hello all,

here are the first 2 shots through the new scope - the eta carina shot was done on a very good night (seeing 8/10) very still, the M83 shot was done while seeing was 5/10 and quite windy. I found the focusing to be quite easy with the focus lock working fine (none if any image shifting) For me focusing using the 10:1 reducer was harder and found it easier using the main focus knob to get it as close as I could.

more to come soon - I sence some good winter weather coming on in mudgee!

Regards,
Grahame.
