Image taken with the travel setup, with the Skywatcher Skyhawk 1145p.

Many images taken during outreach or public events. Faster exposure times, and less processing. However some are quite sharp, and I thought worth uploading to show what can be done with what many see as a starter scope.

In my opinion, Skywatcher could do with building on that platform.
