This image I was able to capture of the cone nebula is the first time I used my edge HD 8” which I have already had for a year but didn’t have the right equipment to use it properly. this was also the first time I used mono instead of OSC and it was shot in SHO. It was a challenge learning all the new gear I had to get to be able to get and the new focal length of this scope that is which is 3x more than any scope I used before. I learned a lot from this and made a lot of mistakes but even with all of them I am happy with how the picture turned out.
