Last night it was finally clear, and the 305F3.8 Honders Astrograph saw first light. Although the seeing wasn't the best, it was transparent enough to capture some faint detail using narrow band H-a and OIII filters. The image is reduced to 1/4 size to show the immense field of this astrograph using the STL11K (cropped full size at top right)
