First Running Man

I had my first attempt at the running man last night. Conditions were obviously not ideal with the near full moon and I hadn't appreciated how faint this object was. In fact it took me a long time to locate and frame it without the benefit of a goto mount.

The image is an RGB composite taken with the DSI II pro. 50x15 second exposures.

I have a spot of dust on the CCD (sitting on his arm) that is proving hard to remove.

Thanks for looking!
