Description

Despite the fact that this object is very low in the sky -- I started at 18° above horizon and had maximum around 28° during Meridian -- it's been worth a trial. Beyond that it was windy and an ACF200 10" SCT mounted with a dew shield on an AZ-EQ-6 GT is prone to spill over those vibrations Right into your Frame.
