First light with Astrograph

Hi all, This is my first image with the Takahashi 160mm f3.3 Astrograph, using Canon 40D Astro camera on Titan mount. It is just one, 2 minute exposure and wasn't guided, as I am still waiting for the guiding camera to arrive.

The image is the full field of view.

Not bad for an unguided shot of two minutes!!

Can't wait to see what you'll pull out of the Tak once your up and guiding.

I appreciate your comments, thanks.

I hope winter will subside soon, to get back into some DSO imaging.

Hi Lester, Nice image. I cant wait to see what you can achieve when we get some nice weather and get to spend a bit of time on some of the DSO';s.

Tak Astrograph and Titan mount, sounds like quite a setup.
