First Light

There was a small break in the clouds last night and even though I’d been awake since 3:30am I couldn’t let the opportunity pass me by.

I had a little trouble with goto not being 100% accurate but I put this down to my hurried setup, I was able to find M3 and M13 and of course Jupiter, but it was very close to a bright moon and low in the southern sky which didn’t make the best viewing conditions.

The image above is a single frame of M3 (20 seconds), I’ve not had time to do any fancy post processing and it looks like my collimation is still out. I’ll post more when I have time.
