Here is a first light for my new rural observatory I decided to call Viewpoint Observatory.

Sbig 2000XM, NJP mount Megrez 80mm triplet.

11 x 2minutes 10nm Schuler H-alpha filter.

I have more Halpha from a 2nd night plus some colour I'll add later.
Perfect skies.

Greg.

Looks like smoke. Are you sure you didn't have your cigarette in front of the scope? Just kidding, nice shot. A bit clipped but nice.
