Description

This was mostly a Test to see if the mount is running (which failed) and how practicable it is to image from my Balcony.
Also, I wanted to see how the newly modified William Optics Megrez 72 performed. It got a new Focuser attached via selfmade Adapter and now it
has selfmade Tube Rings. It is so nice to have your own cnc Machine Shop :-)
Initially took 300 Subs @ 30sec. iso 800 at f6 I had to sort them down to only about 84 subs due to Tracking Isues.
I need to work on that Skywatcher AZ GTI and also had Powerlines obstructing the Images.
Processing was Quick and Dirty, I hope it doesnt hurt too much your Vision :-)

Clear Skies !!!
