Hello all,
I've been trying to dial in a new mount but when you only have one clear night every couple of weeks it takes a while. I'm down to making the final tweaks on polar alignment but I couldn't resist trying a test image last night. The usual excuses when doing a test image: manual focusing, old flats, wrong darks, and nothing working at its best. I couldn't seem to get the proper teal color on the nebula, either, but it sure was a treat to get something.
