Description

New scope, mount, and EAF.

This was first light for this scope for me - mostly just trying to test it out and get things dialed. 

This image is far from perfect, but considering it was mostly just for testing I'm happy with it. 

I've been noticing a constistent train of sattelites (startlink?) running alongside the nebula that didn't all stack out. Need to work on that. I also forgot to dither, which I think resulted in a less than perfect calibration. Ended up clone stamping out a ton of hot pixels.

Image is very cropped.
