NGC3372 - The Keyhole Neb
This is really a test image. I had my first opportunity last night to test an Optec Lepus .63 reducer. The scope is my EdgeHD 1400 but with the Lepus, it's at a FL of about 2450. In the absence of a reducer from Celestron, this is the ony one that claims to be designed for HD optics. The results were dissapointing - serious coma re-introduced into the flatfield the HD optics produce but reasonable in the centre. So the attached image is a crop of the centre. It is 6 x 5 minute subs - a bit of levels and curves applied later.
