Description

Just got the scope, got a (recently) rare "clear " night. My sky brightness was about double usual, seeing maybe 6 arc sec. The worst night I've ever had.

My guiding was lousy because of seeing, even with 3 second exposures. 1.5-2.0

But I wanted to try the scope. This is a crop, but the stars are about equally good (or bad) edge to edge.

There are a number of very small dim galaxies near the Leo Trio. Expand the image, and you can see some.
