Well it's almost 10pm, i'm drift aligned, guiding is working, and i've just released my first 5 minute exposure on the horse/flame.
With an unmodded camera I don't know how much i'll get, especially since it's not really very dark yet and orion is only 20deg above the horizon.
Oh and great, as I was typing a cloud came over and PHD guiding started beeping at me

ah well it's going to be a frustrating night.
