TEC140 - a first light session!

Dear all,

I received my TEC140 at 5 pm on Friday and at 5.01 I was already in the car
leaving to go imaging in the Everglades National Park, here in South Florida!
Didn't even open the box....I just left.

The night was gorgeous and beside having problems with Maxim and my new Macbook
Pro, I persevered and at around 10pm starting imaging.

First target was M3.

Exp: 15 x 2 min - no dark, no flats, no bias
