Description

Oh is this tiny with my telescope! First night my telescope had to stay outside until it was too bright for my autofocus to achieve anything in the morning just before 5:30am.
Just over 6 hours (73x300s) of integration @ 510mm was something new I tried and despite the bright moon I am happy with the result.
