First Light - M42

Hi All,
My New SW Mak-Newt 190mm arrived and of course I got the excited jitters.

First light exposures using my QHY8L at prime focus:

30x20sec
15x30sec
10x40sec
10x2min
10x5min
1x10min (I was going to do more 10 minute subs but it was getting late and I had work the next day)

Image cropped to frame M42 only.

Stacked with DSS and processed in CS3.

I tested the new scope and I can honestly say I am stooked with it.

Paul
