Description

Using a loaner scope (ES ED127) from my local astronomy club and its let me improve my acquisition skills and also will give me a chance to image some new targets.

We continue to have cloudy skys here but over the past week we finally got a break. Whirlpool was my first target on the loaner scope and on a semi-clear night I managed to get some hours of data.

Thanks for any comments!
