Nice image Chris! It looks like the scope optics are good and the tracking is good. You are off to a great start with your setup.
Cheers,
Tyler

Very nice, Chris! This will be spectacular after calibrating (darks and flats) and processing.

Chris,
Very nice! Tracking looks very good which is hard at prime focus. Keep it up.
