Description

For the first light of my new GT81, I wanted to pick a familiar target. This allowed me to work out any kinks and get a bit more familiar with the setup. Unfortunately, my view of the southern skies is very limited. As such, I can get maybe an hour of data per night. In this case, I was able to obtain 42 usable lights, which I thought was rather fitting for this target.
