I decided to do first light with the moon and Mars with the TOA-130 (I already shot a below average M-45 a few days ago). Here are just a couple of the results. The lunar image was shot with a 3x televue and DMK21 mono camera with Astronomik green filter. I pushed Mars as far as I could (reasonably). It was shoot with the SKYnyx 2-0 colour camera, 5x powermate plus 1.5" extension giving an efr of F/50. I was pleased the the mount tracked it so nicely and the image quality isn't too bad.
