Description

What's so special about this photo? Not much, apart from the fact that it was made with absolutely NO polar allignment, NO guiding and with a small ASI120MM Mini camera. Just to show what could be done with minimal equipment!

My main camera is in maintenance and my pc had been acting up lately, so i decided to give this one a try! Not the best results considering that, in order to achieve focus with the 120MM, i had to use a mirror diagonal that GREATLY distorted the image field, but i'm surprised to see how little noise this tiny camera puts out...
