Three shots stacked together that miss fired as I did not know I had moved the camera from Bulb to 30". The night did not go well could not line up the tracker nearly gave up and came home after 3/4 hour just trying to set on the Octans which I just could not see at all. I gave up in disgust but tried the unit out no matter what very happy the way the unit works. I can see this being much better tracked properly and stacking 30 shot First shots. Single shot 30 sec Iso 3200 @200MM. A shot Ko has been asking for ,next time I hope to do it correctly makes a stunning background on a 25" screen.

PIP is the white dot on the top.

Ko this is what I did but was totally unable to see the stars that are used like Polaris so the tracker was never 100% lined up. I knew by latitude, compas and my own sight of just where it was pointing told me it was right. still this was a great first time and over all I am dead keen for next weekend to do lots of photos and the flats and bias to get this I just turned on long exposure noise reduction as I knew I was never going to get all the shots to make a stack. overall impressed with the shots
