I had a very productive first night out with the RASA 8 inch telescope and captured four deep sky objects with the Baader f/2 Highspeed H-alpha (Ha) filter. Please subscribe to my KZbin channel and follow me on Instagram at / chucksastrophotography
The stars were round and pinpoint and the focus was amazing - it never needed to be adjusted the entire night.
