First light Sharpstar 76EDPH, IC 1396 in Ha

[Danjc]

My SW ED80 has served me well but paired with my ZWO 183mm pro the FOV was sometimes lacking. I wanted a bigger FOV and something faster so had been eyeing up the 76EDPH for a while then FLO had an ex demo come up with a very nice discount.
Fortunately Sunday gave me an opportunity to get out for the first time so decided to get some data on the Elephants trunk something I had imaged not to long back with the ED80 so used the same sub lengths and settings so I could compare the 2 scopes. All images are Ha 300s and stacked in APP with just the auto stretch applied and no more processing.

This is about 2.5 hours 76EDPH (forget the exact amount of subs)

I like comparison tests, thanks for sharing this  

Looks like your new 'scope is an appreciable improvement.
