Description

The original plan was to test my new little telescope on NGC 6960 with 180s subframes and a CLS filter. However as everything was set-up and ready to go, the guiding camera quit it's service. Great. So I removed the filter and decided to do some 30s frames unguided on M31 to save the night. BTW the out-of-focus stars in the upper left corner are not the telescope's fault, but due to the 600d's sensor being slightly tilted (DIY-modification). Something I have to look at...
