First guided images.
The longest unguided image I ever managed with this mount was 2 minutes, and that was a single fluke that I've never managed to replicate, until now. After an hour of polar aligning it was good to go, first target, M104 then M8.
As this was just a learning exercise I didn't bother with any Darks or Flats, but I'm still happy with the results, the hot pixels in the M104 images are annoying, but preventable. The accurate tracking it really showing up the bad coma issues but at the moment I'm just happy to have good steady images.
The Sombrero image is made up of 2 minute subs, and the Lagoon is 5 minute subs, as I learn and get more confident I'll start pushing the sub length up.
