I have a Celestron C8 and it does well for viewing but then there is always aperture fever or refractor wants in 127mm or bigger . Personally i think a refractor gives sharper viewing and imaging . But then you have size to consider. I’d love to have a good 5” or 6” scope for viewing but my SCT is alot easier to move around . But some galaxies really need that aperture for really good viewing .

Looks like a galaxy to me too ! Nice capture !

Very nice capture and edits ! -
I have too many film image packages to go back and find my first DSO but i got my first film camera a Pentax K1000 SLR back in November 2002 and this was my first successful capture . A Leonid meter going through Orion constellation .

Unfocused Pleiades
celestron8g8 replied to frolao's topic in Imaging - Widefield, Special Events and Comets
Way back when i use to use film i did a long exposure of Orion constellation . Every minute i would defocus . After about 5 minutes i ended exposure . The final results were amazing . Some day I’ll have to go back through my photos and reminisce . -

VENUS IN THE PLEIADES TONIGHT - DON'T MISS IT !!
celestron8g8 replied to paulastro's topic in Celestial Events Heads Up
Going to be all cloud cover here til Sunday afternoon unless something changes. Cold front came through today . But even tho a nice WF shot would be nice a closeup of Venus with it’s phase and some background stars and maybe some reflection neb if possible would be a great photo opt ! -

Very nice capture ! Looks like several fuzzies in the region . -
That is well done ! Nice capture !

I know your second image was better but this one surprised me cause my first scope of decency was a Bushnell 5-1/2” newt and M3 was the first DSO i ever saw and it was just slightly dimmer than this but i was so excited that made my decision to get my Celestron C8 . After that it took awhile to find it again but i bought Nightskies by Terence Dickinson and that’s how i started learning the night skies ! That was in 97’ . I still have both those scopes but i retired from astro work last year . Need to sell them but just can’t get the energy though to do that yet .

Does this help ? This is for the 27th .

Congratulations if you did . I did that once in the past with a 2x barlow and a 12mm Plossi/light blue filter in my C8 SCT .

Black spots are what is called dust bunnies . Try removing with an air brush : Don't use canned air cause of too much pressure and if you hold at an angle too much you'll get liquid from the can also .

The depth projection is so awesome ! Does the scope have that kind of view ? -
