A wonderful match for the season. My girlfriend wanted to try astrophotography and i gave her my rig to image any target that she wants. She choose the Cone nebula because it was the perfect thing to image during the Xmas eve.
First night she got 5h of RGB and the next night another 6h of Ha. I would highly recommend to take your significant other and spend one night under a veil of stars. an experience that is gonna etch in the memory

I did not know a „cheap“ scope could give results like this

Different mirror?

I didn’t know but guess that makes sense

I really want to get into Astrophotography with a Reflector currently still using star tracker with tiny 40mm refractor 😅
