Description

Only 16x300s images. I plan on adding more to reduce the noise and bring out more of the galaxies. One thing of note is my guiding is decent in declination (< 0.5 arcsec) but about double in RA (~1 arcsec). This is resulting in slightly elongated stars. Likely a limitation of using an Evolution mount on a wedge with too much weight. Can't wait to upgrade to a more robust equatorial mount.

Still, better than nothing and I'm still amazed at what I can get in my backyard in the city.

Cheers
