First Light

A result.
8x frames 1min each ISO 800
Pentax DSLR , standard lens at approx 22mm.
(I need to check the EXIF) Edit: 26mm F8

Quick stack in DSS, sorry about the processing!

Dome GEM stepper used here, poked out the door of the
dome via an extension to the 6core cable
Bartel Drive Azimuth/arcsec/step set to new worm size
and a very rough polar align...
Man it's unpleasant polar aligning on a 5 degree night
on the middle of the lawn.
Gimme my permanent dome setup anytime!

Edit: 2nd process in Neb added
