First Light with new Setup M78 and H Chi Persei, Session from 04.01.2017 - 05.01.2017

The new Takahashi setup with its own camera and filters is almost complete. So I have put the FSQ85 into operation and used one an a half clear nights for a few shots. The Tak is now operating with an Atik 490Exm with 9 megapixels. My actual destination M78 is unfortunately very low and is in the field of view only for about 3 hours per night. Correspondingly, the data at the end was very weak. After all, the FSQ is not a f4 system and has only an opening of 85mm.
