iisac sat night, first try

hi all, these are first light for my vixen 103s refractor for the lagoon,and andrometer and m42 and tuk 47 for the not quite collimated vc200l. this was also my first attempt at guiding, thanks to dennis zambelis for the lesson on phd and scott alder for some tips on processing. lagoon is a single shot 800iso 366 seconds, andrometer 5 x 3 min 800 iso, m42 3 min single shots 800iso and tuk47 iso800 63 sec single shot.All taken on a pentax k-5 no darks or flats or noise reduction, will have to take some darks next time..........but i,m wrapped got my first galaxy. iisac turned out to be soooo much fun with the weather much better than predicted and the goal was to learn to guide so i am very happy
regards brad
