I wasn't sure about posting this as it really lacks any detail. I shot through increasing clouds--Orion was strangely the one fairly clear area at times. I figured I'd shoot until my guider lost the guide star...but guiding kept on going even with the clouds! Still had trouble bringing much out of it. I was most anxious, though, to give my guiding a good test.

Not bad at all Larry, specially considering your conditions...
Looking forward to your next one, with Clear Skies! 8)

Looks good Larry,especially for through cloud cover.
Your guiding looks to be pretty darn good.

Very nice Larry! It looks like the guiding setup was working pretty well.
