Thank you....Its a great little scope

[GalaxyGael]

Like it  punchy and deep with sheen. I miss my e130D, sob sob

The hallmark quality across the board. This is also great in widefield.

That's a really super image Peter. Well worth browsing on the full res image.

Thank you....Its a super little scope and personally I think underrated because of its smaller aperture than the 180 and 160

Thanks ....the amount of tiny galaxies hanging about when you start to look closely is incredible

I agree Peter. The 180ED is spendy but also large for someone who setups without a permanent pier.  Collimation straightforward and bomb-proof I found on the 130D. 160ED teasing me now that it will be available in September....but the size of the 130D was a sweet spot. And some have used it very effectively with the full frame 2400MC with 6um pixels, a great widefield rig.

Wow, so much to look at in this image.

I did not know this object, wonderful image Peter

Another cracking image Peter! One more for me to have a crack at, not expecting anywhere near this result though!

That is a stunning image Peter.  The dust over the nebulosity gives it such a three dimensional feel.

This is a 6200 full frame and gives pretty good correction with the small pixels...I have a 180 with the 2400mcpro and that is so perfectly matched its brilliant....and it has a set of Dual band filters which are so good, I'm getting almost as good results as if it was mono (theres an argument to have lol)

Thanks everyone for the comments

Great image Peter! I love these objects with the nice contrast between the whitish "Gecko nebula" and the strong Ha in Sh2-126.
