Ngc247

This is my first attempt with my new (used) ZWO 1600mm cooled pro an the ASIAir and the EAF and EFW. All atop an overloaded ioptron SGP. It was (is) a big learning curve. I had a problem with backfocus, but not too noticeable on the image. This galaxy is abit too small for my Z61 telescope, but I gave it a try nonetheless.

I love small galaxies in a wide field, so that's a winner from me.
This is a really good effort on your first light with the new gear. Looking forward to seeing more from you, cheers.

Looks good to me! The stars are nicely focussed and not over-exposed and the background is a deep black.

As Adam said, a great effort for your first outing with the new gear.

Cheers,
V

That's a good one Jim. In my very limited experience getting detail and colour out of the smaller galaxies is a challenge indeed. Well done.

Great job squeezing the most out of your limited aperture but the result is great. Well done!
