First "auto-guided" image: Bigfoot & Trifid

Hi All,

It has been a long time between posts here unfortunately but I finally got the chance to take a step forward to auto-guiding under a dark sky at SPSP last week.

This was taken through the little Astro-tech AT65EDQ, using 9 x 5 min subs (plus darks), on the AZ-EQ6-GT mount through a newly astro-modded Pentax K-5 IIS DSLR.

A larger version is available at Astrobin: http://www.astrobin.com/248592/

All comments welcome - I've got so much to learn!
