What a little cutie! M27 DSLR, no scope.

[MKHACHFE]

Hi all, 

 

I have a DSLR only setup (with a SA Mini Wifi tracker) and have only been in this wonderful game a couple of months., so I have lots to learn still. 

This was my attempt at M27 last night from B6 skies. I was quite surprised that I managed to get 3.5 mins exposures with my mount as many people have said 1 min maximum would be achievable. 

Considering my incredibly cheap and basic setup...i'm pretty pleased with the result. What say you all? Go for the jugular, I can take it.
