Hi all, I am continually amazed what my new little Sky 90 can do! Here is a photo with the focal reducer/flattener and 3x5min with Canon 20D at ISO1600 and noise reduction on. Images combined with MaxIm DL. What a fun little scope this is! While the photo is not up to standard of the many pros on Astromart, I want to humbly encourage the aspiring astrophotographer wannabees that if I can do this, you can certainly do even better!

p.s. oh by the way, The IDAS LPS filter is amazing. You should not be without one!

Very nice, Ivan! Amazing! 15 minutes total? With an LPS filter?!? Wow. This is one object that has so far eluded my imaging it (so many targets, so little time).

I second the LPS filter. That helped the processing of my M81/82 image.

The Tak scopes are great! I'm amazed at what you're doing with the Canon 20D. Your images are beautiful!
