Description

Photos showing clusters of galaxies are one of my favorite subjects. They show the magnificent scale of the universe.

This was the first time out with my IEQ45 upgraded to a new set of boards and a new 8407 hand controller. In general the software performance was snappier but not necessarily better tracking or guiding.
