Wink My first ever SBIG shot

Well it's nothing much but it is my first with the ST-7XME, so here's to many more improvements on this yardstick.

SBIG 7XME through a Celestron 102 achromatic using a green filter (couldn't get it to focus yet on the 80ED). Track and Accumulate 60 shots @ 8 sec each, autodarked. A quick and dirty curves and levels in PS. No autoguiding, just relied on the track an accumulate which is why there is a lot of correlation noise (well noise in genereal ) in the image from too short exposures and a poorly aligned and running mount (EQ4 with dual motors. The RA is running a bit slow for some reason) We'll se how it goes on a well aligned mount and with longer exposures.

Boy there is a leaning curve and half on this sucker
