It was more for people who already had access to these like I did. That way they dont need to purchase additional things.

Test unguided shots

Spent a night testing the mount. I was suppose to test the guiding as well but silly me forgot to bring the guidescope/camera! I was limited to 20 sec exposure due to poor polar alignment (Im not familiar with any methods that doesnt utilise my guidecamera). First time using the DARV method in APT, not sure how accurate it was. My focus was out which isn't the fault of the mount, just me being lazy and not properly checking each frame.

20sec x 140 subs
