First light with my DIY scope - M31, M42, Running Man, Horse Head and Flame nebulas.

Here's the first few proper tests with my recently finished DIY refractor. More on the project here.

At the moment I'm only able to image with my unmodified Canon 6D.  Was surprised how well it actually did. The plan is to be able to image with my Atik 383+ with LRGB and NB filters. Some more work is required though before I can do so.

Wow, just took a look at the project and I must say that's really impressive results!!

Nice work all round. Very satisfying when you've built it yourself.
