Honestly, better image than some setups costing 10x as much. Well done!
Thanks Lewis. Since I've had the observatory I've noticed a change from comets to galaxies. I quite like the little collections of billions of stars.

Mounts max payload is 13.5 kg and you probably have at least 15 to 16kg on board
