Description

I was simply tinkering to test the accuracy of the mount for a goto and tracking. It seems to be working quite well. I was not expecting M45 to look this good. The FOV isn’t what it should be for this object, but I’m happy with it. What surprised me more was seeing the blue wispy gas in the bottom center of the image.
