First light Askar 130mm M83

I have not been well but finally put the new gear all together and did some testing in less than ideal conditions last night and the night before. .Moon and moisture and still some adjustments to take care of...

Asker 130mm.
ZWO Harmonic Mount.
ZWO 2600 mono.
ZWO filter wheel.
ZWO OAG with ZWO mini camera.

LRBG 120 second exposures less than an hour usable... discarded two thirds because guiding kept losing the guide star due to the seeing... however happy to have it all basically working. OAG worked great but it cant go thru cloud.

Photo Shop got a work out on the result from Startools because I used Red subs to make up most of my luminance. In fact each channel was made up of various channels...I was more interested in just running something really...

So it is an odd image.
