Description

A widefield shot of the Crescent nebula from a Bortle 7 zone. This was really difficult to get, the Star Adventurer has been causing me grief from day one with a gritty clutch and a misaligned polar scope. This means I can barely polar align or balance properly, which really upsets my guiding. Managed to keep max RA error below 2" but even that gives me trails at 90s 200mm. Time for an upgrade.
