First Light ED 127 APO on Orion and friends
Here it is, the moon set at 2.30 a.m., the sun was rising at 4.00 so I had a 90 minute window this morning when the weather here broke long enough to give this new scope a look at the sky. The obvious choice was M42, M43 and the Running Man - all in one frame. The scope has a FL of 950 making it F/7.5 and this was done at prime focus. It turned out to be just 3 x 10 minute subs with some flats and darks applied and spruced up with PS. Taken with a QHY8.
Enjoy.
