First light on new scope, and my flight to Andromeda!

[turbotim]

About 40 lights at 80 seconds, 15 dark's and no flats! Shot with a canon t100 on a cg5 mount with a svbony 80 with flattener/reducer,  tracked! Iso was set to 800! I know  its not that good to what some of u can do, but to me for right now its gold, and time for a celebration, cheers! I just need to learn to process better and take flats correctly! This new scope lets in a lot of light real quick, amazing!

That's a good start.  It's exciting to get to grips with new gear.

So far as processing goes, it helps to avoid clipping the black point, and be careful not to overstretch.  Colo(u)r balance help too, and a little noise reduction.

I've tried to adjust all of the above a bit on your image and get this result.  There may well be more detail in the linear data.

Looks like your new scope will deliver some great stuff!
