About this image

This is an image taken from my back garden in Chelmsford using my travel setup (Redcat 51, ASI2600MC, AM-3). It is a very effective system which is light enough to take on a flight to places with better skies than I have. The RedCat has the same aperture as the Seestar S50 but the sensor is much bigger so, even though this system cost a lot more than a Seestar, the cost per square degree is a lot less!
