First attempt at m45, and a little to far stretched...but anyway.
-9x400sec@400iso
-8inch newton NEQ
no flats, darks or bias.
With all this cloud about I dont see myself imaging for awhile

I was lucky enough to do some test runs on the new...well my new d610 nikon. Its great that the cooler I made has done the job and knocked 20 degrees off this heat. Next project is a dew strap for this 300% humidity here.
I can not wait to get back into astrophotography, I'm back to keeping a close eye on the sky.
Thanks for looking team
