Small Magellanic CLoud NGC 292

I had some issue's with the 8" telescope I did wonder if it was from the camera , So I went old school.

This is the nikon rig with the 300mm D lens and the 1" sensor camera QHY183C , this is pure old school no auto focus but a manual focus with a mask.

Passed with flying colours you cant get more positive proof than this. The 8" is up for a major upgrade that will be a whole different set of photos. Yes you have seen this area Before. Same lens different sensor, dont think any of this is easy it always comes at a cost.
