Description

The last couple of times I imaged I've been having trouble with my guiding. I wasn't going to

do any astrophotography last night because I had to get up very early this morning. However I decided that I would image so I could try and tweak my guiding. I just wouldn't stay up all night like I normally do. The first thing I did was try and obtain a better focus on my guide scope.

I normally pick my guide star but this time I decided to let PHD2 pick the guide star for me.

I decided to image M3 because it's been a year since I last imaged this object and because

it was located in the darkest part of my sky. I didn't have any problems with guiding but I'm

not sure if that was a result of anything I did or not. With all of that said please enjoy my most recent image of M3 and my first image of M3 using my AT72ED Refractor.
