M51 with my new self built newton

[Luiscarss]

Hi everyone, I present to you my first job with my new telescope. It is a 16" Newton, built with a carbon fiber tube and a TS conical mirror. The cameras used for this first test were a Qsi660 and a 533c.

 

First I took a color photo, but it seemed to me that the telescope could do more, so I added a luminance photo to give it more detail. In the end the photo had 4 hours of L and 7 of color.

 

I hope you enjoy it. Thank you all

I think it's the scope in this thread. A real beast with probably 1.8m focal length.
