APRIL 16TH/17TH - LUNAR OBS & DEEP SKY WITH SEESTAR S50.

[paulastro]

Out during dusk with 6inch Dob.  Excellent views  with the Svbony  3-8mm zoom - what a bargain it is.  With the Moon being so bright with some clouds and only m3 stars visible I used the Seester S50.

Pics below.  Even having used tbe S50 since early January, it still continues to amaze me how it performs in adverse conditions. I could never see beyond m3, and M16 (the  Eagle Nebula)was taken when it was  little more than 6 degrees altitude.  Around it I could see no stars at all.  

LDN 1124 is an area of dark nebule in Cepheus, not far from the elephant nebula.  All pics are full frame except the crop of M16.
