Description

A test of my portable, star party gear.  A Skyguider Pro, modified DSLR, ASIAir, and an appropriate lens.  In this case a Pentax Takumar SMC 135 mm, f3.5.  I have had no luck getting this thing to work for me, so I backed down to a wide field lens, found an easily located DSO (North America Nebula), and polar aligned close enough for wide field purposes.  Twenty-six 2 minute subs, unguided on a hot, muggy, and somewhat cloudy night.   I am pleased that this is recognizable for what it is.
