Description

Unique little guy hidden in the Virgo Galaxy Cluster. Solid 5 hours on this guy and I think it turned out fairly well. Good enough for a first pass at least.

First target with the new ZWO EAF installed on the 60mm refractor. Think it went well with the backlash setting I put in using the coarse/fine tape mark alignment method.
