Description

This is my first galaxy with my C11 after repairs have been made to the shattered corrector. I'm impressed by the work that Celestron did and am happy to have the scope back in excellent condition.

This is also my first photo with my new mobile pier that I designed and commissioned. I'll post more on that as my tests complete. Guiding for this image was fairly steady at .5 total RMS with light wind for the first night, and around .8 total RMS for the second night in gusts of 21mph. I'm impressed with the performance thus far.
