NGC247 Test

I haven't used the FS-102 in quite a while and tried it out last week. I was pretty disappointed in the result so I cleaned the optics and got it going with the OAG. I found one counterweight wasn't enough for the single scope/camera and two was too much so I had to add weight to the scope to get balance. But it's all looking ok now

Just a quicky, NGC 247, a dim grayish blob near 253.
