Thanks Anthony, I wasn't expecting anything spectacular from shooting under these conditions but rather curious to see what I could extract. Besides, the Nano Tracker is so light that I can pick the whole rig up with one hand and carry it outside. Auto guiding will only complicate things but who knows what's around the next corner!

But keep trying, one tends (one being me) to think it cant be done but you show there is hope...showing hope is a wonderful thing to do.

Hope and inspiration, that's what I'd like to be remembered by from the pictures I post, to try and convey the message that you don't need expensive gear to get reasonable results these days.

Thanks Tony, I often wondered where this Blue Horsehead was located. The nebulosity is washed out by the light pollution and moonlight but I see where you're talking about.
