Pretty noisy when you zoom in, but the image is pretty fantastic for the setup and integration. Really pushing the limits of that Astromaster 130 OTA!

teal sail also i appreciate the incredible amount of support from yall

Yeah well, it's always fun seeing people create good images with sub par equipment. The EQ6 mount certainly helps a lot, the AstroMaster 130 OTA being a poorly made bird jones reflector.
