M76 and M56 - farewell to the 10 inches

[drjolo]

The last images I have captured with my 10 inches Meade ACF 10" telescope. Now it is gone to another happy amateur that has already big plans for it  

M56 cluster in Lyra - together with M71 it is my favorite globular cluster, because of the dense starfield in the background. Image below is 140x1 minute stack of LRGB frames made with QHY163M on EQ6 mount.

And the M76 planetary nebula. I always wanted to image it, and waited for the better conditions, but I failed Here is about 4 hours of total subframes time made with RGB, Ha and Oiii filters. QHY163M and EQ6 as telescope company.
