Description

A quasi-First Light image after receiving the Orion MMAG Magnification Mini Guider. I attached the guider to my C80ED and wanted to see how well the set up would work while imaging at 2000mm F/10 on the SC-8. There was quite a bit of error, about 2-3 pixels worth at 120 second, and around 4 at 480 seconds. So this is really just a learning experience overall, but I'm thrilled with the results I'm getting. Having gone years without guiding, I'm quite happy to see what I'm able to accomplish today!
