Description

I went out to a dark sky site for the first time since I've started and was able to get this unguided picture. Funny story, my autoguiding (which I just started doing) was having technical issues and I just could not figure out what was going on at first. I only had an hour or so until the trees got in the way. So, I just started taking short exposures and hoped that I could get a decent image. This is what resulted from those unguided short exposures at a dark sky site. It helps that the Lagoon is a rather bright nebula and I have a fast scope, but still. You can't beat a dark sky!
