Some Astrophotos from 24-25 Feb Mersing Trip

Post by cataclysm »

Quite surprise to be so productive this early in the season. Again the weather is kind to us, and the sky cleared up early in the evening, enable us to capture the the late season winter targets. I had another go again with the Newtonian imaging setup, this time with beefier tube rings to counter the flexure issues. I have to admit that it can be quite a pain to setup Newtonian for imaging, but once sorted, it can be a real potent imaging instrument!
