Description

It's almost full on galaxy season, so I went for the rest of Markarian's Chain last night.  Got the other half last week.  I was fighting pesky clouds and only got 15 images, but I was really out to try my brand new Ioptron HEM44EC mount!  So far, I am impressed.  The big test will be when I switch to my Celestron C8.  Last night I was using my Stellarvue 102 T Raptor, at 714mm.  The stars look very sharp pretty much from edge to edge, so I am happy!!  Clear Skies
