Description

I finally bought another scope: a beautiful Tele Vue NP101is. I also switched over to off-axis guiding (using the ZWO OAG), which made a huge difference in tracking. The entire night was spent ironing out the inevitable issues that crop up when setting up a new system.

Through it all, I managed a little over three hours on target: M13. Clusters aren't my usual fare, but it was a target of opportunity for this "debugging session". Overall, I'm pleased with this outcome.

Now, I'm looking forward to some long and clear nights to resume my OB Association studies!

Description: At the suggestion of @wsg, I bumped up the background a bit. Thanks, Scott! There certainly is more data there!
