First time out with my brand new Sky 90. Here is 3x5min, ISO1600, CF2=on, MaxIm, Photoshop CS, Canon 20D.
The wind was howling and bitter. One of my gloves blew away when I took it off to adjust my tripod. Yes sir, just plain blown away off the Blue Ridge Parkway. But the great thing with this compact little scope is the FOV is so wide that it is impervious to the wind! I was manual guiding this, and used a reducer on the Tak, and a 2" IDAS LPS filter.
LOVE THIS SCOPE!
Here we see the Jewel Box of the North, the sapphires of the Christmas Tree Cluster, and a tiny cone nebula lurking nearby.
p.s. If you see a black bear in Spring with one right glove on, call me. He can have my other.
