Description

I had a series of rare moonless and clear nights, so it was time to finally tackle some more delicate Galaxy imaging. My observatory is in Bortle 8, so I am always pleased to the amount of details an F/4 Newtonian can capture with only about 16hrs of integration time. I think the tilt and collimation issues that plagued most of 2022 are mostly solved now and the stars look much better. E
