First light - Esprit 120

Got my Esprit 120 out for first light last night. Guiding was not great, likely because the guiding rig I used on it was totally inappropriate for an OTA of that size/weight/focal length. (A 50mm guide scope in the findershoe, works OK on an Esprit 80, less so on the 120...)

Due to aforementioned bad guiding I had to keep subs short but managed to scrape a small amount of data up before high cloud blew in and ruined it. This is about 90 minutes only, which at f7 isn't much that's for sure.
