First Light

[technofetishism (Nick)]

Finally got around to aquiring myself an ED80, and after running her through her paces with some visual stuff initially, decided to end the night with a few images. However at some point I knocked the polar alignment so anything longer was streaky, oh well.

Did get some images from 47 Tuc however.

It does look good

I checked other images of Tucan 47 and found similar nebula or perhaps galaxies in the background two in fact on the right as you pointed out and on the left.

The one on the right is Kron 3 aka Lindsay 8. On the left is NGC121.
