Leo Triplet- TSA120 first light


Recommended Posts

First light for my Tak TSA120 with flattener at f7.3 883mm FL. Well, technically it was second as I basically had to throw away all my subs from first light. 
 

Probably not the best target for me at 60deg N as it’s pretty low throughout the night and I really noticed that in subs at the lower altitude. Then, issues with guiding and particularly poor seeing on the first night left me with only 3.8hrs stacked  out of over 10hrs over the two nights. 
 

A little noisy but some got some detail in the galaxies and fairly happy with the outcome considering the integration time. This is a crop and there’s just the slightest hint of the tidal tail but I would probably need the full 10hrs to bring it out.

Brilliant.... can't wait to see the full 10 hours if under 4 gives this.

Thanks! Hoping to get more before the nights get too light here.
