I did want to use my DFK21AU618 on this pass and shoot at 60 fps, but given the accuracy of the mount I couldn't be sure I could get the scope aligned on that much smaller field of view. On last night's pass there was an 8th mag star it was predicted to pass exactly over, but getting that aligned and then focused was a bigger problem than I thought.

That's actually a Klingon bird of prey. Prepare for invasion!

Nice shot. Thanks for sharing.
