Hi guys.

Here's my first official image taken with my scope mounted on the EQ platform. Alignment was slightly off, so the features still drifted through the FOV but it was much much better than without tracking.

Details:
- 16th June 2005, ~11:00AM
- 10" dob on EQ platform, + ToUcam
- Seeing: 3/10, Transparency: 8/10
- FL: 1250mm (ToUcam at newt prime focus, no barlows as seeing was terrible)

Processing:
- Approx 30-40 frames stacked for each image in registax
- Unsharp mask and contrast adjusted in PS

Thanks, comments welcome.
