Description

One of the first images from my remote roll-off-roof observatory (and first light for a complete image capture!) I got the observatory in operational condition just before the end of the dark season and luckily there was several clear nights in April here in Finland. Really happy how it turned out and how all the gear worked after spending months building the observatory and preparing the gear. Flats were taken manually when installing the telescope but everything else was done remotely from my home two hours away. Also first time using N.I.N.A. for controlling the gear and image acquisition. N.I.N.A. integrated really well with the observatory and was a smooth experience.
