Meade ED80 First Light

I bought a Meade ED80 from the classifieds early December. Anyway I finally found a break in the clouds 3 months later and here we have first light!

A very poor break in the cloud. Only some 35min worth of data captured here. I had issues with my USB system locking up while sending commands to the scope so a lot of exposures were wasted as the autoguider would send the command to step and the scope would suddenly start slewing. Anyway something is better than nothing, so here we are Orion and the Running Man.

I think camera wasn't sitting flush in the flattener and the spacing needs some working, but hey first light
