Episode 47 - First Light!

Welcome baaaack to The Astrocast! Thanks for tuning in this week for a UNIQUE episode as Roo takes you with him to the good old side yard for some first light shenanigans on the new Askar SQA55. I purchased this scope myself, it's my new refractor, and I thought I'd share some of that experience with you! Since this night, I've managed to get a capture of the HH/Flame Nebula for 4 hours and am VERY happy with the results! You can see it on the Astrocast FB page. Links:Sharpcap This week's recommendation: ESMZ Would you like to help support The Astrocast AND get in to our members only Discord?
