Description

I started astrophotography first half of 2019. I published a few photo's in that period. Second half of 2019 I moved to another house, so no astrophotography. In March 2020 I started again and tried to make a photo of Leo Triplet. But then I learned about oblong stars... Together with the wonderful people of Ganymedes we studied the issue and after many nights of testing it became clear that my mount is damaged. At the end of the season I borrowed a mount from Ganymedes, a CGX-L, very heavy for a man of my age. But, this allowed me to perform a session of about two hours on M13, unfortunately at almost full moon.

The good thing of this period is that I increased my knowledge about astrophotography a lot, about the software, and about the setup. I could not have done this without Ganymedes in the Netherlands. Thanks, Paul and Jeroen. The photo that I publish now has some quality, some... I hope that from next season on I will improve on this, having my mount repaired.
