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.

This is very visible in the night sky but it is certainly interesting to see close up. Big learning curve that's for sure but this make it all worth it.

Certainly cant wait to try the 150-600 to see how that goes @500mm or 600mm. Next weekend is another try and hope I get things right to do it properly. Stay tuned as I learn.
