NGC 7000 (North America Nebula) image taken with Quattro 150P and ZWO ASI294mc Pro
Hello Mr. Kloss,
I'm finally getting around to answering you.
First of all, a huge thank you for your expert advice on the 6" Quattro.
It was absolutely the right decision to buy it with the modifications (spider and aperture ring).
I've attached a picture of the first Frist Light.
The stars are a bit blurred. However, this was a mistake on my part.
The Optolong L-Xtreme protruded a bit too far into the tube.
Nevertheless, I'm thrilled with the setup. I'm already itching for a better camera. :-)
The only drawback is balancing the mount. Balancing the telescope is almost impossible.
If there were an outer mirror cover with a weight of 1-2.5 kg, that would certainly fill a gap in the market.
I used a long Vixen rail to help me out and mounted the guide tube at the very end. It just about worked.
Enjoy the shot.
It's not processed or stacked.
