Merry Xmas everyone!
Took the telescope into the backyard a few nights ago and imaged his DSO. Needed more data but the clouds plagued me alittle.
Second attempt at guiding and I was able to secure 5 minute exposures without a hitch. Although I did lose the guide star once but that may of been the clouds.
