Double Cluster (SX-35 on E-180)

[fatwoul]

After a prolonged absence, I've been lurking again recently, so I've decided to post some things I've been working on with my new camera.  There's plenty wrong with this image, but given that the scope was in pieces undergoing its annual bath only a couple of weeks ago, and was collimated by eye once afterwards, and given that it was taken with a camera I'm still learning how to use, I think the setup shows promise.

Can definitely see the twins?

What a great FOV you're getting there!!! 

[fatwoul]

Mars - I'd certainly hope so.  It's hard to miss targets with this FoV, unless they're tiny.

Sara - What should I point at next?  Crab Nebula?  lolz

Crisp! With your F ratio why not do a Fabian Neyer on it and hit it in the Ha filter long and hard? There's Ha in them thar hills!
