This is an image shot last night. There was a lot of high cloud, dew and of course the moon was up, so skyglow was an issue. As a result, the image is a bit washed-out.
This time around, I've learned to use Guide Dog, so longer exposures were possible. (The stars are round!)
I'm pleased with my first run using guiding software. (hey, it worked!) Still got a long way to go, and a lot of things to learn!
Notes:
Dewy night with half moon and high cloud. Scopes dewed up several times.
