Description

I know this is an exceptionally poor image, but I want to keep a record of, what I hope will be, progress.

This was my first try with an f/10 C11. I have a lot to learn about focusing, tracking, exposure times, and gain. Everything seemed so easy with the wide field f/2.8 powernewt.

Only two subs because I couldn't get SharpCap to align more images.
