Description

The telescope used was defect and has been returned.
The defect is shown on the stars where you will notice wierd star spikes.
In addition to this the distance between the reducer and the camera sensor was not optimal so I had to crop the image in order to get rid of the worst of the elongated stars.

Due to the issues mentioned above I only did quick post processing.
Next time I will try to do shorter exposures hoping to not blow out the core so much.
