Description

Looks like there is something weird going on with the stars, most likely collimation issues but it could be something really odd with the way I focused. These exposures were taken on a night with the full moon in the sky but given the target brightness I doubt it matters much.

Through the eyepiece the Nebula is gorgeous, lots of color and detail even from the middle of a large city.
