Description

This image is definitely not the best. it's completely bad: i did it in december, when the moon was literally on the side of the pleiades. I also used the lens at 300mm, reducing the exposure time to 1.6 seconds for each photo. and, to make matters worse, some clouds passed over them.

I'm already over a month without a clear sky, so I decided to post for several reasons. I summarize this photo in disappointment, but also as maturity. After that i will never use 300mm for untracked, and take a picture when the moon is on the side.

Good news: I will probably buy a used motorized eq32 for $ 400. star adevnturer would cost $ 700 (because i would have to pay a lot of import taxes). So, I'm just waiting to close the deal!
