Description

I hadn't used the Takahashi FSQ-106N for a number of months.  I decided to put it back into action with my ZWO ASI6200MC camera.  This was a test run in below average seeing conditions and with a light surface fog putting moisture droplets on my equipment.  At least the sky was clear and the breeze very lite.  I used my SkyWatcher EQ6-R Pro mount without guiding.  Tracking only at 532mm focal length.  23 minutes total exposure time in 15 sec subs.
