M3 - 'first light' for new obsy

[centroid]

Had a very quick session last night, the first time using the obs for a month, due to the conversion from RoR to rotating turret.

A quick 'rough and ready' M3, as it was there, it was bright, and only needed short subs, so no need to bother with the guiding.

12" LX200R at f/7 and SXVF-H9C, 42x20 secs subs.

A proper starry snowball is that Dave. Must be very rewarding to have the place sorted after all the hard work you've put in

Good pic. A great start for the 'new' obs.

And the first one roll off the production line at Centroid Imaging HQ. .

Sorry Dave, It's just that you made that sound so easy. It is a splendid M3 as a starter though.

I shudder to think what's coming when you really get serious.

Dave,

you've done an awesome job with this image - the colours in the stars are great and the visibility of individual stars is outstanding!
