Description

A rather shoddy result for a quite difficult subject.

The only true reason of interest of this image is that the AZ-GTi was able to reliably track for 30 seconds at F10, indeed at a measured focal length of 1580 mm!

42 out of 65 images shot contributed to the stack, which means almost 65% of useful shots.

A great result for the mount at almost full nominal load, not so good for the aesthetics, unfortunately, because the 300000 light year distant globular cluster looks very dim, while the prospectically close but indeed much nearer to us two bright stars appear overexposed.

Also, I used the DSLR because I needed the biggest sensor available in order to simplify finding the target, but clearly a monochrome sensor would have worked much better.
