Description

First of all, this is not a perfect image as I was still working out the proper back focus on my new portable setup, but thought I'd share it anyway just for fun.  This will attract minimal attention on Astrobin but that's not the point.  It still turned out quite lovely, IMHO, as long as one doesn't pixel peep!  The Esprit 100 and AM5 are a great pair and are going to be a lot of fun to use.
