first light with wo telescope

#1

Post by Mirrorgirl »

I had a good night last night very pleased with new telescope.....i had a word with Kathy about latitude and longitude and i managed to entre the right figures into telescope. .and guess what the stars were bang on in the focuser right in the middle so i was pleased with that...i took 60x2 minutes on Andromeda and processed it in photoshop and light room i do think the back ground is a little too dark but a least i have the data to do it better ....one image is with all the stars and the other a star reduction i added from photoshop... please let me know what you prefer...here they are:

Not sure which scope you're talking about. Perhaps you mentioned it in another thread.

But that's a good start and I'm sure you have lots of wonderful hours using this one.

I suppose it's a William Optics ???
