Hi Guillaume,

Fantastic result for a 114mm telescope, good detail.

Hope to see more from you.

welcome Guillaume, never would I have imagined that anyone could produce such magnificent images (perfect colour) with such detail using a humble 114mm newtonian... that was my first telescope more than 25 years ago when I got into Astronomy and I was lucky on occasion if I could see three fuzzy and faint blue-grey bands.

Great stuff.

Welcome to IIS Guillaume! That is some amazing detail you managed to capture with such a small scope.

Magical stuff with the 114 great pictures. There's still hope for me yet with my little fella .
Welcome to IIS.

Very nice picture, I am really pleased to see your images because I'm also using a small scope. Seeing the results you are getting encourages me to keep going.
Many of the other posts with fantastic images could be intimidating to small scope users!
Your Website is also very good, I will be looking at it in detail and I'm sure that I can learn a lot.
