Celestron AstroMaster 114 vs Celestron C6N

Hey,

so I got my new telescope which I got via eBay – the Celestron C6N. It is a 150/750 f/5 newtonian telescope.

It replaced my very first telescope, the Celestron AstroMaster 114, which is a 114/1000 f/8.5 telescope.

So I made a comparison image of the two telescopes on M13 – the Hercules cluster. I think the difference is amazing! What do you say? 🙂
