Also Ap140 first light

I just received a 2nd hand AP140 from a recent Astromart Auction.

I took it to my dark site straight away and had a couple of nights of clear weather.

Here are the images so far:

The Horsehead: http://www.pbase.com/gregbradley/image/92757065

Eta Carina: http://www.pbase.com/gregbradley/image/92758083

This scope is incredibly sharp and sharper than anything I've used before.
Also incredibly well made and substantial. You can tell its the culmination of
years of experience.

Thanks to Roland for making such a masterpiece.

Greg.

Fabulous images!!

Greg,

All three images are very fine results. Good work!

This scope is incredibly sharp and sharper than anything I've used before.

This was my immediate observation as well when my AP160 arrived about two years ago. Killer optics and snap focus.

Also incredibly well made and substantial. You can tell its the culmination of years of experience.

Again, my immediate observation as well during the first night out with my AP160.

Thanks to Roland for making such a masterpiece.

Rolando has the ideal recipe and it shows!

Enjoy the new toy!!!!

Anthony.

Great images Greg, and congrats on the scope.

What CCD camera are you using?

Those are some really nice results. You've gotta try some H-alpha too.
