Description

This is one of my first images I took after getting a proper mount and CMOS camera. Also the first time I tried guiding. Can't remember the exact date I took it but it was April 2021. Was more curious of what my Z61ii could do. Can't remember what exposure times I was doing but I believe it was 300" probably around 3 to 4 hours worth. I wish I had kept more information on this image.
