AR3153 December 3rd

Post by RichardJ »

First sunlight with my Skywatcher 120mm refractor.
Not bad optics for an achromat.
Seeing was only average.
Looking forward to seeing what I can achieve.

Nice pictures.


I do not look at the sky with the eyes of an astronomer, but of a person looking for the beauty of nature.

Great first light Richard, I’d say you can expect great things with that scope in even better conditions! Is this using a wedge or full aperture filter?

Nice result from the scope, i really wanted to go with Skywatcher scope again as i have two, but i was thinking that i prefer a white color so it can reflect the sunlight a bit to keep the scope cooler, but if i will go with a SW black one then i have to find a way to minimize the heat from the black color without painting the scope, keep up your results from the scope.
