Description

This is another target I've wanted to capture since I started this hobby.  I went out of the city to a darker area to do this, and suffered some technical difficulties.  My mini PC's 5GHz Wi-Fi took a crap, and the 2.5GHz band was not cooperating either.  I was constantly loosing connection via remote desktop, and tried to use the mobile hotspot instead.  This worked better, but I had to sit closer to the rig.  It's the first time I've used a OSC with this RC8, and was not equipped to use a filter.... whoops!  So this is without a UV/IR filter, hence the weird-ish stars.  There was a steady light wind that was not kind to my guiding, but it is what it is.
