Description

This is one of my first astro photographs ever.  It is taken in my backyard over three nights, part time with the moon in the sky and the object low above the horizon.

The mount, camera etc is controlled by Astroberry on a Raspberry 4. I had some guiding issues. However a RMS value of approx 1'' seems OK.

The stars have a little comet shape, which I expect it due to a little tilt in the focuser tube. I have to look into that!
