My second imaging session with my new SVBONY SV503 102ED scope. Imaged The Rosette Nebula last weekend but still tinkering with the editing on that. Had some moderate winds but managed to block most of them. Hardly threw away any images except a few that were photobombed by airplanes and satellites. Great little scope for a heck of a price.
