Description

I was trying to collimate my Newton on a star and get rid of the double spikes this night.

After a few hours I gave up the second task and decided to catch some sub, so the night was'nt all useless.

Regulus was the star I used for adjusting the secondary mirror arms and I thought it would be a nice idea to look for that dwarf (UGC 5470) near him.

As I hade no idea about the correct position, I took Regulus in the middle of my field of view and hoped for the best.

Here is the result. This dwarf is hard to catch and the blue light of regulus is drowning almost the full frame in his light.

Better luck next time ;-)
