Description

First try at this target down low in the south, and also first try at guiding the Star Adventurer using a homebrewed Raspberry Pi/linguider + GPUSB + Android phone over VNC combo. Clumsy and time-consuming, but a compact setup and the results were all right and a distinct improvement over unguided. Drove 2 hrs to dark skies for the inauguration.

200mm F/4 Canon FD set at f/5.
