About this image

An image of Tsuchinshan-ATLAS with a 10" f/3.8 Newt taken from the Rio Hurtado Valley in Chile. Just a hint of the anti-tail dust spike remaining. I also took an image with a 20" CDK two hours later which I will upload next. Interesting to compare the two images taken with vastly different scopes!
