Out of focus Eta Cassiopeia

[legion48]

After imaging Almach last night, I spent some time trying to find out if any of my eyepieces were anywhere near parfocal with the Toucam at prime focus. None of them were, but at one stage when I popped the Toucam in, this is what appeared on screen. Although it is of no use whatsoever, I thought it looked so pretty that I would share it here.

I see Eta Cass, as Yellow & red.

This is not what I would have expected

I like that! You could start a new astro art genre with that picture,Tony! Either that or your the first amateur to image a black hole!

Cheers

Does your scope need collimating?

Tony, I think it looks quite artistic. I think CW is right.
