Description

This shot was my very first with a star tracker (the IOptron Skyguider Pro)

I wanted to see the difference with my previous try, without a tracker. My polar alignment was still rough so I only got 60s of exposure time by frame and managed to get 65 subs before Orion was too low. Due to clouds, I only kept 50 of this frame.

Still a lot of progress to make, but it's the very first shot I'm kinda proud ouf
