Description

This is actually a 1st light image with my rebuilt 12" f5 Swayze newt. This was a very easy target, I know, but I've found some issues with the scope already. I honestly think it's more camera/sensor tilt going on. That said, I'll be working on fixing that. I read an article about making a jig to adjust it indoors, so that's my plan while it's cloudy. If your interested in how to adjust your sensor tilt, this article is pretty good and it has a good description of whats needed. https://www.macobservatory.com/blog/2021/11/28/how-to-remove-sensor-tilt-from-your-astrophotography-camera-while-indoors
This was only shot with 10 second subs, so it took my computer a bit of time to process 659 frames, but I'm pleased with the results for now.

As always, comments and criticisms are welcome!
