MX - Unguided Orion

I have been testing my MX over the last couple of nights to see how far I can take it unguided. I have been pleasantly surprised, I was aiming for around five minutes unguided but I have been able to do 10 minutes.

I have not trained the PEC yet so you will see a small amount of RA movement in this photo, don't be to harsh on me. also the seeing was poor.

OTA: Planewave CDK12.5 focal length 2541mm

Mount: Software Bisque Paramount MX

Camera: Canon 5D Mark 3

Software : Sky X, EOS Utility, Photoshop ( all Mac )

The image comprises of 1x 10min, 1x 6min, 1x 5min, 1x 1min exposures @ 400 ISO, all unguided.

I have only spent about 10min in Photoshop on this image. It is more of a tracking and camera test than a finished product.

Thanks for looking

Phil
