Hi Guys,

I wanted to post my image here to show the great possibility of a "simple" 4.3inch. APO refractor on a known object of our night sky.

My image represents 13hrs of total exposure for the luminance taken under the Full & Second Quarter of Moon.

Image and details at this following link :

Enjoy !!!!

Best Regards,

Florent, really superb photo of the trio. I would never have guessed the telescope was that size. Also your website is impressive. Keep up the great work!

Great image Florent!!! 8O I continue to be amazed at the detail that a quality small scope can capture. Nicely done! Nice website too.

Florent,

This image is a feast for the eyes. Thanks for sharing. I am pretty sure I could never approach this fine an image under the moon conditions you had..
