M104 & m83

First night out in dark skies in quite some time. Had a very good time observing in other people's scopes while mine was busy imaging these 2 targets... Old favorites M104 and M83.

Focus still a struggle without a mask. Still not guiding yet but managed a pretty decent PA. Bresser Messier 127 achromat w/ Fringe killer, HEQ5 Pro unguided, Nikon D7200, 105 seconds, ISO 800. 20 subs for M104, 12 subs for M83, 10 darks, no flats or bias.

Seems to be good enough for Facebook to show my friends what I get up to at night.
