First light, 120ED, M51.

[MARS1960]

Finally got a bit time of out with my new 120ED.

I managed only 12 x 240s @ ISO1600 before clouds rolled in, so just 48mins intergration time.

A quick mess around in PI as it wasn't worth spending hours on it till i have more data.

I also observed some great views of Jupiter with my SW 22mm and 2 x ED Barlow

I think i'm going to like this scope, could finally have found a keeper.

Don't know if it's also the case for all the pics inserted in the forum, but this one has much better texture and sharpness if you click on it to view the original image.

Thanks guys, appreciate the kind words.

Nice image.  You are beginning to get detail in the tiddler galaxy to the bottom right as well.  That's not many arc-minures across for sure.

If I may ask what camera and mount do you have ??

Thanks Sean.

I used my Modded 600D and a CGEM mount.

That's going well but your aim to get a lot more data is obviously correct and will give big dividends.
