Description

The only shot taken during today's session. Instead of drift aligning right away, I decided to first gaze over the sky with a rough alignment using just the polar scope. That's when this frame was taken to see whether my "rough" alignment was good enough for a 30 second unguided exposure.

Unfortunately, after I finally drift-aligned the mount and set everything up for guided photography, I was kicked out from the spot, because, apparently, the "Turnpike" road where I intended to spend most of the night, closes at 22:30. The place, however, was really good for observing/shooting the southern sky. I just need to come at 6 and not waste the time. Next time.
