Description

This night I made a polar alignment with Sharpcap Pro of 0,01 on both axes. I thought "wow" if the alignment is that good lets try to run it without autoguiding, just for fun. 12 out of 18 images were perfect, which is not bad for a 3min exposure.

The galaxy is smaller than I thought, but this way I could frame it together with the star cluster 🙂
