Data Acquisition Method: Personal Telescope Setup

Image Description and Details: So far, I have only used my C8 visually. But now after a long hesitation I have dared to use the C8 photographically. After a very long time, the time had come. Here in the north of Germany we had three clear ice-cold nights. I chose the bright PN M 97 as the first object for the C8 and have not been disappointed. I would be happy if you like my very first picture of the Celestron C8... CS and stay well
