The old and the new!

Way back around 2006, I started my first M110 contest images for the old Astronomy Forum.

I was using a Meade etx70 alt az telescope with a Meade DSI2 camera. I was only taking single images with no stacking just a bit of post processing in Nebulosity.

Just for kicks I decided to post both images here. My plans is to recapture all 110 of the Messier objects using the SeeStar S50 and no post processing. It should be a fun adventure.

Here's an example of what M1 looked like for both the old way and the new way.

Quite the difference in detail.
Have fun with the new gear.

The new one looks more Hubble-esque - nice!
