NGC 3511 - Stoked!

It was November 13 the last time I successfully imaged something; nothing but terrible weather and hardware problems since. I've spent the past few clear nights trying to get my guiding acceptable and my new EQ8 well enough aligned. Finally got it last night.

The data here isn't great, it's only about 17 x 220s, so it's not much to look at it, but I'm stoked all the same. Mean FWHM ~ 2.9 (calculated in PixInsight), when I was getting 4+ before.

Total RMS was often around 0.8", getting as low as 0.6", not totally perfect when imaging at 0.74", but waaaay better than I was able to get previously.
