Description

So why am I shooting these two obscure globular clusters (NGC 6569 & 6558) when I could be imaging the final Messier Objects in my catalog? I was having go-to problems with my go-to mount during the beginning of the evening, my polar alignment app on my cellphone was not behaving properly and I though I fixed it but I don't think I did which is why my alignment was off. Once I located an object it tracked perfectly. I was looking for M69 in fact I originally thought this was it. Oh well. I did better with M19.
