Wonderful image Humayun - like everyone else, looking forward to seeing what you can do with the new scope!

Congrats on your new scope.

127mm is serious APO aperture.

Thats a hot shot. Best to use screw fittings to get rid of that sag in the visual back screw setup. Depending on the scope there can be quite a bit of slop there. I had a Willimas Optics 80mm once and their 2 inch visual back seemed a tad bigger than 2 inches so sag was inevitable form the screw tightening.

Maybe its a sign to get yourself a CCD cam now for Xmas! There's so many nice ones to chose from these days and the prices will never be lower than they are right now.

Greg.

Good to see you back into the thick of things Humayun. A very tidy image indeed. Looking forward to seeing more.
