I had a few hour window of clear weather the other night before cloud came over.
I am planning to do more on this one but I was surprised at how well "only" 3 hours of data turned out. I guess that is the big advantage of aperture - the light gathering power. I am used to requiring more like 10 hours to get this level of signal. This could be handy given the vagaries of clouds and weather.

Paramount ME mount. I am continuing to tweak polar alignment using TPoint and it must be pretty close now after several runs through that and drift aligning. TPoint is a cool program and can be used with any mount and camera.

I also suspect there is a largish star tidal stream going from that yellowish bottom galaxy back to the main spiral arms. Longer exposure may prove it to be there or not.
