Description

Andromeda Galaxy (M31). Hello neighbor 👋 Very happy with how this turned out. First clear night in a long time (and no moon till almost midnight). Seemed like I might lose subs too wind shake, but the gusts died down as quickly as they started and I redeemed up losing only a single sub.

This was also first light with a new mount. It's in the same class as the SkyGuider that I used till now, but with Dec motor and GO-TO capability in addition to the RA motor. iOptron SmartEq Pro+. Worked very smoothly with ASIair. I actually got this six months ago, but never got to testing it. When I finally did, it had RA issues and had to send it back to iOptron for repairs. Thanks to High Point Scientific and iOptron for the great support and speedy resolution. 👍
