Im SO happy with the quality of this scope so far! I spend around 6 hours processing this image, trying out new new techniques in both Pixinsight and Photoshop. Its very different from what I use to do, but I kinda like it. Sharper image can be found on my Astrobin. Let me know what you think =) (på/i Skövde) https://www.instagram.com/p/ChuwEZQD2KK/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
