The framing isn't the best because I had trouble finding a guide star.

I might try to image it again tomorrow morning.
Oh. I gotcha. For some reason I thought it was auto guided (which you never said in your original post).

I guess Boatinni is visible here in the Northern Hemisphere for about another week or so just prior to sunrise. Between the smoke from all the fires in California and the coastal fog taking over the night sky, I'm hoping to get a glimpse sometime this coming week. Otherwise I guess I'll have to wait another 65,000 years.
