First Colour Image from TSA 120

Howdy.

Hope you are all well and getting some sky!

Here is my first colour test image from the TSA 120. I don't think colour is quite right, however, it will have to do until I get a bit better with this scope.

Thanks for looking, comments and tips welcome.

Oh, you are a lucky man, indeed.

That is a superb first effort.

Bit of a green cast, though. Get rid of that, and, you'll be right.

Thank you H! Yes, very lucky, a great bit of kit. Really want to do justice with it now.

Green cast gone and image updated, too.

Great first result !

Hi Peter. Yes, I can concur on the guiding. I am still stuck with a guide scope for the moment until I can get the shaft machined on the OAG to get it deeper into the light cone, so yes, happy for the time being. Looking forward to a better mount, too.

Excellent resolution of the stars within the glob. Colour looks pretty good but the orange stars look just a tiny bit pink. Overall a really nice looking image.

I hope the best is yet to come. I love the colour this scope produces without pushing, much better than my old Megrez.

Hi Paul. I will take another look at it. Thanks!

Thank you Darrin. I cropped it a bit to get the best framing as I used some subs from the previous night and had to move the camera, so it wasn't as central as it could be.
