Description

Another great example of what a 130PDS can achieve even with original equipment and almost no mods under a typical night sky.

Even though there is certainly more that can be done in post-processing, I am very happy with the result.

The guiding in particular worked very well and, with the new multi-star guiding, gave me the lowest RMS values ever.

You can find the M 51 from the same nights here.
