Description

A couple of clear nights gave me the chance to test my new portable imaging setup with a prototype rebuild of the AZGTi.
After the first test with the flattener at higher altitudes I wanted to see how it did with a wider field with a richer starfield

Being on a higher tripod just made M8/M20 visible over a fence for a short time so I gave it a shot to see how the mount performed at extremely low elevation (11 degrees at meridian). Guiding obviously not as stable as higher up but all in all not too bad with such a wide-field. Processing it took way longer than the 26 minutes of data!
