Skywatcher MN190 + ATIK 314L+

[Coco]

Bought this scope from Steve at FLO 2 months ago and have never used it before

I think I may need a tiny bit of collimation to make perfect....

Last night wasn’t supposed to be clear in the North West, I got home from work and whipped the obs roof off, I have crammed the MN190 in there the night before, I can’t get a southern aspect with it do to its size but have discovered I can get a bit of the North mainly over my roof and the neighbours ... M81 Cassiopeia etc..

What has surprised me is the light gathering capacity of the MN190 and sensitivity of the 314L.. I only had 20 minutes on target before the wife brought me in to help with the kids homework

This is a 4 x 300s stack (showing the overexposure) and the field of view using this scope and camera.

This target will be a joy to image, lots of shorter subs will help ...

crikey that is some image scale and amazing detail. A great start to using that setup.

Glad you kept the camera now?

Looks like a perfect combination.

Sign of the great potential of the combination of scope and 314 in that Image.

You can't hide your excitement Guy.

Hope you can get the Obs. enlarged soon, to accommodate the 190.

You are welcome to join the MN190 Social Group you know.

Crikey - imagine what it will do without a full moon beating down and a serious amount of subs!

[Marmite]

Yep - the MN190 has got to be one of the best bang-for-buck scopes out there.
