Celestron Nexstar 8se on Advanced VX Mount

Description

This is our basic unguided setup of the 8se on the Advanced VX Mount. (Orion 50 mm Mini Guidescope, NexImage 5MP, and Shoestring Astronomy GPUSB adapter not shown.) It's not fancy, but it is functional. For "middle of the road" equipment, I have been very happy with the results. I am new to autoguiding, so I hope to be able to get my guided exposure times up above 90 sec without oblong stars/trailing as I get better at the technique. Light pollution may get to be a limiting factor - lots of glare at 90 seconds.
