Meade LX90 8" SCT @ f/25, DMK 21AF04 monochrome camera @ 30fps, R+IR filter, 400/2250 frames, taken 8:48 UT.


Thanks,
Ed Roach

Hi Ed,

an excellent result, even more for an 8" aperture smile
This encourages me to use my 8" Vixen VMC during the wintermonths for imaging, the cooldown times are much better than those of my SCT.

Best wishes,
Oliver
