Visual impression

Hard to get the focus right with camera-that is due to the eyepiece not giving a large field of view. But images appear to be alright. Will try and check with shorter exposures in future before going for the longer ones, in order to prove that focus is good
Bewertung: Simple conspicuous object in the eyepiece
Appears stellar
Appears resolved
