WELCOME BACK to the Astrocast! After taking a couple weeks to dive DEEP in to the workings of Pixinsight, we are back to our normal chat! We discuss a wide variety of topics, including the mighty Celestron SCT and Hyperstar combination, the advantages of imaging at F2, and what Roo should start thinking about before building his first home observatory!
