Congrats Greg, great first light!
Looks like the little hiccup's sorted now.
Excellent round, sharp stars all the way from edge to edge.
Good run down on everything as well.
Man the 17" scope makes the ME look almost small
Know what you mean with the weather, I think most of us are suffering from this, mmm so called La Nina effect. Hard to take with new gear just sitting waiting.. waiting...
Look forward to your next images with this fantastic setup (no doubt clear just in time for DLS

.
All the best
Rich
