Description

My mount arrived with the wrong counterweights, so I put the tiny Aperture 60ED on it and did a rough alignment. This mount easily gets within about 1.5 arcminutes for pointing. It has an occasional shimmy but it looks like it can be guided out.

This is a short unguided exposure of M57 taken with rather severe moon light.
