its a 106mm scope with a focal length of 382mm at f3.6
the actual scope is located in spain but telescope.live lets me either download the raw data from an object if they already shot it or else i can pick the target,individual exposure length,number of exposures ,filters etc and then use that data instead.

The data comes in a set of files in FIT format which is a standard astrophotography format. I then stack and process them however i choose
