Description

Inspired by the picture of that galaxy from [url=/users/Chris-PA/]Chris Sullivan[/url] last year



I wanted to catch that tiniest of all bubbles by myself.

Last year I didn't have a chance due to bad weather or other circumstances, so I waited for the first chance this year.

To my surprise I could recognize this small and dim target even on live view which made it easy to center.

Disappointingly I had movement peaks in declination in almost every sub for which I blame balance issues (I really have to manage this) which causes the oval stars.

The outcome is still presentable I guess and I will cross a position off my "once in a lifetime list".

Thanks for watching!
