I bought the Coronado 60 scope that was recently up for sale on IIS, and after 3 weeks of cloudy weather, I finally got a chance today to set it up and do some imaging.

Below is my first result. Lots to improve on (framing, fixing dust donuts, etc), but I'm happy with this for my first attempt:

Not too shabby Chris - some filaments coming through here & there as well - - Nice 1st test shot

Thanks Bob.

Maybe the weather will be kind enough to give me another go tomorrow.

Excellent result for a first light, Chris!

Thanks Rick.

It looks like it will be a few days before I get another go - no luck today it seems.
