My First Love on 2 accounts

[vdb]

If I remember correctly I started this hobby about 3 years ago, first it was visual with 8cm orion eon doublet, which I also took my first pictures with ... Then I realized I wanted something better (sounds familiar he )

So after some research I bought the Bresser Mak-Newt 15cm f5 carbon (now also sold as comet hunter ES) I used it a few times and then somehow I wondered of to what I thought was better (and yes the Tak is better ... but there are some clunkers along the way as well ...)

So yesterday night I took the first imaging scope love out of the closet and pointed it to my first love object. Boy do I love f5, nice semi round stars over the complete FOV without coma.

Here a single 10 min Ha sub. (I did take some more but not enough, also OIII and SII ... hope to get some more data this weekend)

Certainly impressive. F5 is good...

F5 to F8 compared a single 10 min sub in both RC and MN, cropped as both FOV are not the same. Same linear stretch 0 - 20000
