Description

This was  a "test" picture with my new mount ZWO AM5  taken between 3 and 4 am on 11 June 2023. I wanted to push the limits to assess the performance in marginal atmospheric conditions. The seeing was poor, the sky was moderately washed by the proximity of dawn and the humidity was 94%. The performance of the guiding was impressive. No "star lost"pauses at all, even towards the end  at dawn. I  like the brownish starry Cepheus constellation and the Iris nebula is a beauty every time, even with 1 hour of integration.
