01/05/2025 Second attempt for my newtonian, Still some tunings are required , but stars are getting better.
Pinwheel galaxy (M101) With the new newton 8"
10/Apr/2025 First light for the newton 8". This telescope still need good tuning and optimization. That being said the "zooming" factor compared with the image taken with the refractor is quite clear.
Pinwheel galaxy (M101)
20/Mar/2025 Quick capture of the Pinwheel galaxy. Only two hours and half using the usual gear and a broadband filter ( Optolong L-Pro ) to reduce light pollution.
Messier 106 ( M106 )
09/Mar/2025 This galaxy is roughly 24 million light years away from us, making it a challenging target ( at least for my gear ). This picture is the result of 140 x "180 secs" subframes, for a total of 7hrs of acquisition time.
