Tonight, I aimed my Celestron EdgeHD 11 with a 0.7x reducer at the Cat's Eye Nebula for astrophotography. Unfortunately, I spent a few hours troubleshooting a backfocus issue and couldn't achieve focus with the reducer attached. Despite this setback, I managed to capture a one-hour exposure...

It set me back almost $300 at this time, but gave me plenty of excitement when I could see the rings of Saturn, the Trapezium stars of the Orion Nebula, and the whole gamut of Messier objects. I was blown away at the scopes ability to slew (move) to various objects automatically, ...

in either of my SCTs. Globulars like M13 look like a blast of bright stars coming at you (or like going into warp). A SCT with NV is also good for zooming in on bright nebula such as M42. Under dark skies I have even found the NV/SCT combination to be useful with a 2X Barlow...
Last night I was out at Mansfield Dam and even at 3x I could easily resolve the pads in the Cat's Paw Nebula and the 12 degree field is fantastic for low power sweeping. I could even see M11 as granular at 3x. #8 Ladyhawke
