Description

I had the opportunity to use an old Televue mount that belongs to my friends dad for a little bit while observing one night. This is my first image taken with multiple frames and also my first attempt at processing a deep sky image so critiques are welcome! I had limited time on the mount so I was only have to get a small number of exposures.
