Description

Had an opportunity to participate in a star party at an area with Bortle 2 skies and went for this "new to me" target. I ran into some complications with trying to do new things with SGP so I had to throw away half a night's worth of frames not to mention the 20mph gusts we were facing, but in the end I'm fairly happy with how it turned out. Tracking and guiding was better than I had hoped for to be honest.
