Description

My nephew Andrew and I shot this target last week with 80ED, while also doing some visual observations of Jupiter via the 8se scope on the other mount. Even with a lot of light pollution from nearby backyards, the image turned out OK. I did not notice that the trailing was getting worse as the target approached the meridian, and I should have re-balanced earlier. Other than that, it was a great night out under the stars.

Versions B and C are a medium and close crop, respectively.

Thanks for looking!
