Description

Shot over two nights. This was very dim and under a full moon. I had a lot of gradients to deal with, but managed to pull off a decent result.

This was also my first object shot with a new Astro-Physics Mach2 mount. Unfortunately I just barely got though one night of use as the DEC encoder started fouling up and causing motor stalls. It's being packed up and sent back to AP for inspection. This is also the same time during which my 10Micron mount stopped working and had to be sent back to Italy. Wow, my track record with premium mounts hasn't been great. Out came the trusty RST-135E to finish the second night of imaging.
